Information Collection Request Title:
A Client-Centered Performance Measure
for Contraceptive Services.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health/Office of
Population Affairs is seeking an
approval by the Office of Management
and Budget on a new information
collection. We propose to evaluate a
scale previously developed by our
collaborators at the University of
California San Francisco (UCSF)—the
11-item Interpersonal Quality of Family
Planning Care (IQFP) scale—among
3,000 female family planning clients.
Initially informed by qualitative work
around women’s preferences for
contraceptive counseling, the IQFP scale
has already been shown to be a valid
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and reliable scale in research settings
but its use as a performance measure
hasn’t yet been evaluated. Family
planning providers will also complete a
short survey about provider
characteristics (approximately 80
providers) and clinic demographics
(approximately 10 clinics).
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The proposed use of the
information to be collected is to develop
a patient-reported outcome performance
measure (PRO–PM) on contraceptive
counseling and assess its validity,
reliability, feasibility, usability, and use.
If we find that this measure has
adequately met these criteria, UCSF and
the Office of Population Affairs (OPA)
will prepare it for submission to the
National Quality Forum (NQF) for use
in a variety of clinical settings where
family planning care is provided.
Measurement of the quality of
contraceptive counseling can be used as
part of quality improvement activities to
increase awareness and use of clientcentered counseling approaches. By
improving client-centered services,
women can choose the contraceptive
method that works best for them, which
can lead to reductions in rates of
unintended pregnancy and other
adverse reproductive outcomes.
Likely Respondents: Family planning
providers and their patients.

Proposed Project: Pregnancy
Assistance Fund (PAF) Performance
Measures Collection Abstract: The
Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is requesting an
extension of a currently approved
information collection request by OMB.
The purpose of the renewal is to extend
the period of collection through March
31, 2018 to complete the collection of
the Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF)
Performance Measures from grantees
funded in August 2013, and to allow for
data collection from 3 new PAF grantees
funded in July 2015, increasing the
number of respondents from 17 to 20.
There are no changes to the data to be
collected.
Need and Proposed Use of the

performance data to inform planning
and resource allocation decisions;
identify technical assistance needs; and
provide Congress, OMB, and the general
public with information about the
individuals who participate in PAFfunded activities and the services they
receive.
Likely Respondents: 20 PAF grantees
(States and Tribes).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to

maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
