Information Collection Request Title:
Home Visiting Assessment of
Implementation Quality Study: Better
Addressing Disparities through Home
Visiting, OMB No. 0915–xxxx—[NEW]
Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program, authorized by
Social Security Act, title V, section 511
(42 U.S.C. 711) and administered by
HRSA in partnership with the
Administration for Children and
Families, supports voluntary, evidencebased home visiting services during
pregnancy and for parents with young
children up to kindergarten entry.
States, tribal entities, and certain
nonprofit organizations are eligible to
receive funding from the MIECHV
Program and have the flexibility to tailor
the program to serve the specific needs
of their communities. Funding
recipients may subaward grant funds to

local implementing agencies (LIAs) to
provide home visiting services to
eligible families in at-risk communities.
Through the Home Visiting
Assessment of Implementation Quality
Study, HRSA aims to examine specific
components of the Home Visiting
Implementation Quality Conceptual
Framework to inform strategies for
implementing high quality home
visiting programs. One of the three
quality components the study will focus
on is addressing disparities. HRSA will
explore how families that experience
disparities in outcomes targeted by the
MIECHV Program experience home
visiting services. The requested
information collection is an initial step
in understanding those experiences and
will provide a better understanding of
how MIECHV-funded home visiting
programs currently address disparities
and promote equity. Data collection
activities include interviews, focus
groups, online surveys, program
observations, and review of documents
and management information systems
data.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is seeking additional
information about families’ experiences
within home visiting and strategies the
MIECHV Program has used to address
disparities in their work with families.
HRSA intends to use this information to
identify actionable strategies that
MIECHV awardees and LIAs could take
to remove potential obstacles to family
enrollment in home visiting services
and to help address health disparities.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program
awardees that are states, nonprofit
organizations, and tribes; LIA staff
(program directors, coordinators,
supervisors, and home visitors); and
families that experience greater

requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
disparities in maternal and newborn
health (families participating in
MIECHV-funded home visiting
services).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
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
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

This information collection is part of
the Assessing and Describing Practice
Transitions Among Evidence-Based
Home Visiting Programs in Response to
the COVID–19 Public Health Emergency
Study. This study aims to identify and
study practices implemented in
response to the COVID–19 public health
emergency that support evidence-based
practice and have the potential to
enhance home visiting programming.
One of the practices the study identified
is the use of coaching to promote
caregiver-child interactions and positive
caregiving skills. Coaching involves a
home visitor providing instructions to
the parent or caregiver as they carry out
the skill and differs from a common
home visiting strategy modeling in
which home visitors first demonstrate a
skill themselves before asking the parent
or caregiver to try it. The purpose of this
information collection is to better
understand, through rapid cycle
learning, how MIECHV-funded home
visiting programs can implement
coaching strategies during home visits.
Information will be collected in four
phases designed to (1) define coaching
strategies (co-definition phase); (2)
