OMB No.: 0970–0468. Description: The National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline) and loveisrespect (LIR), which are supported by the Division of Family Violence Prevention and Services within the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), serve as partners in the intervention, prevention, and resource assistance efforts of the network of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence service providers. To describe the activities and accomplishments of The Hotline and LIR and develop potential new or revised performance measures, the ACF Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) and FYSB are proposing a data collection activity as part of the Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study. As part of the ongoing program activities and monitoring for The Hotline and LIR, ACF proposes to collect additional information via voluntary phone, chat, and Web-based surveys of individuals who contact The Hotline and LIR. Participants will complete an exit survey at the end of their contact with The Hotline and LIR, and a follow-up survey approximately two weeks later. The survey will include questions about reasons for contacting The Hotline/LIR, whether needs were met, satisfaction with services received, and helpfulness of information provided. This data collection builds on a previous data collection that was focused on understanding the preferred mode of contact by those who contact The Hotline and LIR. This new information will inform future efforts to monitor and improve the performance of domestic violence hotlines and provide hotline services. Respondents: Individuals aged 18 and older who contact The Hotline and LIR via phone or chat.
