Information Collection Request Title:
Healthy Start Evaluation and Quality
Improvement OMB No. 0915–0338—
Revision.
Abstract: The National Healthy Start
Program, funded through HRSA’s
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB), has the goal of reducing
disparities in infant mortality and
adverse perinatal outcomes. The
program began as a demonstration
project with 15 grantees in 1991 and has
expanded over the past 2 decades to 100
grantees across 37 states and
Washington, DC. Healthy Start grantees
operate in communities with rates of
infant mortality at least 1.5 times the
U.S. national average and high rates for
other adverse perinatal outcomes. These
communities are geographically,
racially, ethnically, and linguistically
diverse low-income areas. Healthy Start
covers services during the perinatal
period (before, during, after pregnancy)
and follows the woman and infant
through 2 years after the end of the
pregnancy. The Healthy Start program
has five approaches, including: (1)
Improving women’s health; (2)
promoting quality services; (3)
strengthening family resilience; (4)
achieving collective impact; and (5)
increasing accountability through
quality assurance, performance
monitoring, and evaluation.
MCHB seeks to implement a uniform
set of data elements for monitoring and
conducting a mixed-methods evaluation
to assess the effectiveness of the
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
program on individual, organizational,
and community-level outcomes. Data
collection instruments will include a
National Healthy Start Program Survey;
Community Action Network Survey;
Healthy Start Site Visit Protocol;
Healthy Start Participant Focus Group
Protocol—these instruments have not
been changed. The Preconception,
Pregnancy and Parenting (3Ps)
Information Form will also be used as
a data collection instrument; however
the 3Ps Information form has been
redesigned from one form into six
forms. The six forms include: (1)
Demographic Intake Form; (2)
Pregnancy Status/History; (3)
Preconception; (4) Prenatal; (5)
Postpartum; and (6) Interconception/
Parenting. The purpose of this redesign
is to enhance the 3Ps Information Form
to ensure collected data is meaningful
for monitoring and evaluation, as well
as screening and care coordination, and
streamline previously separate data
systems. The 3Ps Information Form was
also redesigned to allow questions to be
administered in accordance with the
participant’s enrollment/service
delivery status and perinatal period. In
addition to redesigning the 3Ps
Information Form, HRSA deleted
questions that are neither critical for
evaluation nor programmatic purposes.
HRSA also added questions to the 3Ps
Information Form to allow the Form to
be used as an all-inclusive data
collection instrument for MCHB and
Healthy Start grantees. The additional
questions extend and refine previously
approved content, allowing for the
collection of more granular and/or indepth information on existing topics.
Adding these questions allows Healthy
Start grantees to better assess risk,
identify needed services, provide
appropriate follow-up activities to
program participants, and improve
overall service delivery and quality.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the data
collection instruments is to obtain
consistent information across all
grantees about Healthy Start and its

41315
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 122 / Friday, June 24, 2016 / Notices
outcomes. The data will be used to: (1)
Conduct ongoing performance
monitoring of the program; (2) provide
credible and rigorous evidence of
program effect on outcomes; (3) assess
the relative contribution of the five
program approaches to individual and
community-level outcomes; (4) meet
program needs for accountability,
programmatic decision-making, and
ongoing quality assurance; and (5)
strengthen the evidence-base, and
identify best and promising practices for
the program to support sustainability,
replication, and dissemination of the
program.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include project directors and staff for
the National Healthy Start Program
Survey; representatives from partner
organizations for the Community Action
Network Survey; program staff,
providers, and partners for the Healthy
Start Site Visit Protocol; and program
participants for the Healthy Start
Participant Focus Group Protocol.
Respondents for the redesigned 3Ps
Information Form (i.e., (1) Demographic
Intake; (2) Pregnancy Status/History; (3)
Preconception; (4) Prenatal; (5)
Postpartum; and (6) Interconception/
Parenting) is pregnant women and
women of reproductive age who are
served by the Healthy Start program.

context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
