Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Evaluation of LifeSet (New
Collection)
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation; Administration for
Children and Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing a new
information collection activity to assess
the impact and implementation of
LifeSet, a program that provides services
and supports to young adults ages 17 to
21 with previous child welfare
involvement. Data collection efforts will
include accessing administrative data
from the child welfare agency, program,
and other private and governmental
databases; surveys of young adults
(participants and those receiving
services as usual); interviews and focus
groups with program and child welfare
agency administrators and staff;
interviews and focus groups with young
adult program participants; and
interviews with other program
stakeholders.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Alternatively, copies can also be
obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE
Reports Clearance Officer. All requests,
emailed or written should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed
information collection activity is the
first phase of a larger study that intends
to assess the impact and
implementation of LifeSet, a program
that provides services and supports to
young adults ages 17 to 21 with
previous child welfare involvement.
The program aims to support young
adults in their transition from foster care

to independent living in the areas of
education, employment and earnings,
housing and economic well-being,
social support, well-being, health and
safety, and criminal involvement. It
focuses on helping young adults
identify and achieve their goals while
developing the skills necessary for
independent living.
The impact study will assess the
effects of young adults’ participation in
LifeSet on outcomes in the primary (i.e.
confirmatory) domains of education and
employment, housing stability, social
support, and well-being. These
outcomes have been identified by the
implementing agency as the main areas
they expect to target for positive
program impacts. In addition, the
impact study will explore the effects of
participation in the secondary (i.e.
exploratory) domains of mental health,
criminal justice system contact, intimate
partner violence, and economic wellbeing. The study will utilize a
randomized controlled design.
Information collection activities will
take place over three years and will
include collection of administrative data
from the state child welfare agency, the
program developer, the local program
provider agencies, the National Student
Clearinghouse, unemployment
insurance and employer wage records,
the National Directory of New Hires, the
state homelessness management
information system, the state
department of corrections, the state
juvenile justice commission, the state
court probation services division, and
the state department of human services
division of family development, as well
as survey interviews with program
participants and young adults receiving
services as usual.
The implementation study will collect
information through phone calls and
site visits to the participating program
and child welfare agency. Information
collection activities include interviews
and focus groups with administrators
and staff from the program developer,
child welfare agency, and program
providers.
This evaluation is part of a larger
project to help ACF build the evidence
base in child welfare through rigorous
evaluation of programs, practices, and
policies. The activities and products
from this project will contribute to
evidence building in child welfare and
help to determine the effectiveness of a
program for youth formerly in foster
care on young adult outcomes.
Respondents: Program participants,
young adults receiving services as usual,
agency and program administrators and
staff, other program stakeholders.
