Information Collection Request Title: Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) is requesting an approval by OMB on a new information collection. For the TPP Tier 1B Design and Implementation Study, we will document how each of the 50 grantees funded under this grant program are scaling-up efforts to strengthen and expand the reach of evidence-based TPP programs in their respective communities. OAH anticipates that grantees will employ diverse strategies in working within their communities to scale up their initiatives. Because this information collection will contribute to the emerging knowledge base about community-wide efforts to scale up evidence-based programs (EBPs), mobilize community support, and establish linkages to youth-friendly ADDRESSES: health services at the community level, it will be important to document the variety of grantee approaches and challenges they have encountered as a result of local conditions and strategies. To document these features and experiences, a lead staff member in each grantee organization will be interviewed by phone as well as up to two key grantee partners. Partners to be interviewed will be selected based on the prominence and variety of their roles within each initiative in order to provide multiple perspectives on implementation. To obtain more detail on implementation than can be gathered in a telephone interview, site visits with up to 15 grantees will be conducted to collect data that will illustrate in detail a variety of approaches and strategies for scaling up to the community level evidence-based approaches to teen pregnancy prevention. Likely Respondents: Respondents for telephone interviews will include 50 TPP Tier 1B grantee project directors and 100 implementation partner project directors. Site visit interview participants will include 120 grantee and partner staff members, and 40 Community Advisory Group members. Eighty Youth Leadership Council members will be recruited to participate in 10 focus groups.

This program was first established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, Public Law 110–161, 121 Stat. 1844, 2135, and has been continued in the annual appropriations acts since that time. This program is authorized under the authority of the Snyder Act, 25 U.S.C. 13 and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, 25 U.S.C. 1601–1683. The amounts made available for MSPI funding shall be allocated at the discretion of the Director of IHS and shall remain available until expended. IHS utilizes a national funding formula developed in consultation with Tribes and the National Tribal Advisory Committee on behavioral health, as well as conferring with urban Indian organizations (UIOs). The funding formula provides the allocation methodology for each IHS service area. This program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under 93.933. Background IHS funded 128 Tribal, UIOs, and IHS Federal facilities for a five-year national program focusing on substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts for Indian Country. There are six overall goals of MSPI. The overall goals of MSPI is to: (1) Increase Tribal, UIO, and Federal capacity to operate successful methamphetamine prevention, treatment, and aftercare and suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention services through PO 00000 Number responses per respondent Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 implementing community and organizational needs assessment and strategic plans; (2) develop and foster data sharing systems among Tribal, UIO, and Federal behavioral health service providers to demonstrate efficacy and impact; (3) identify and address suicide ideations, attempts, and contagions among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations through the development and implementation of culturally appropriate and community relevant prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies; (4) identify and address methamphetamine use among AI/AN populations through the development and implementation of culturally appropriate and community relevant prevention, treatment, and aftercare strategies; (5) identify provider and community education on suicide and methamphetamine use by offering appropriate trainings; and (6) promote positive AI/AN youth development and family engagement through the implementation of early intervention strategies to reduce risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance abuse. Currently funded projects were not required to address all of the six goals listed, only those relevant to the Purpose Area for which they were awarded. A total of 59 projects (Tribes, Tribal organizations, UIOs, and IHS Federal facilities) are currently funded for MSPI Purpose Area #4. IHS requested additional funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 President’s Budget to expand MSPI Purpose Area #4, specifically to hire additional behavioral health staff to assist with the project. Purpose The primary purpose of this IHS grant is to focus on MSPI goal #6, ‘‘to promote positive AI/AN youth development and family engagement through the implementation of early intervention strategies to reduce risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance abuse.’’ Projects will accomplish this by focusing specifically on MSPI Purpose Area #4: GEN–I Initiative Support.
