SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The STREAMS
evaluation includes two components, an
impact study and a process study. The
evaluation will examine HMRE
programs for youth in high school, adult
couples, and adult individuals.
1. Impact Study. The goal of the
impact study is to provide rigorous
estimates of the effectiveness of program
services and interventions to improve
program implementation. The impact
study uses an experimental design.
Eligible program applicants are
randomly assigned to either a program
group that is offered program services or
a control group that is not. STREAMS
collects baseline information from
eligible program applicants prior to
random assignment and administers a
follow-up survey to participants 12
months after random assignment.
2. Process study. The goal of the
process study is to support the
interpretation of impact findings and
document program operations to
support future replication. STREAMS
conducts semi-structured interviews
with program staff and selected
community stakeholders, conducts
focus groups with program participants,
administers a survey to program staff,
and collects data on adherence to
program curricula through an add on to
an existing program MIS (nFORM, OMB
no. 0970–0460).
This data collection request is for an
extension of previously approved data
collection instruments for the impact
study and for two additional data
collection instruments associated with
the impact study. The two additional
instruments will allow for longer-term
follow-up in two of the five evaluation
sites. (1) The second follow-up survey
for youth will be administered
approximately 24 to 36 months after
random assignment to study
participants in the STREAMS site
serving youth. (2) The second follow-up
survey for adults will be administered
approximately 30 months after random
assignment to study participants in one
of the STREAMS evaluation sites
serving adults.
Respondents: Study participants.
