Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program, authorized by the
Social Security Act, title V, § 511 (42
U.S.C. 711) and administered by HRSA
in partnership with the Administration
for Children and Families, supports
voluntary, evidence-based 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 to provide home
visiting services to eligible families in
at-risk communities.
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)

identify potential refinements to
improve coaching strategies (installation
phase); (3) iteratively test the
refinements (refinement phase); and (4)
assess the potential of coaching
strategies to improve service delivery
and promote family engagement and
family satisfaction with home visiting
programs (summary phase). Data
collection activities include focus
groups, online questionnaires, and
review of documents and administrative
data.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The COVID–19 public
health emergency led the MIECHV
Program to rapidly adjust practices,
within the bounds of evidence-based
home visiting model guidance, to
reduce service delivery disruptions
while protecting the health and safety of
home visiting participants and the home
visiting workforce. Largely prompted by
the shift to virtual home visits, one of
these practice changes was to use
coaching to promote positive caregiving
skills and family-child interactions.
Home visitors suggested that using
coaching strategies enhanced the way
that home visitors worked with families,
particularly in virtual settings when
home visitors were unable to use
modeling strategies (e.g., in-person
demonstrations by home visitors). Some
findings indicate that home visitors who
used coaching perceived that it led to
improved family engagement and
caregiver confidence in interacting with
their child. However, other findings
suggest that some families may not
prefer coaching over modeling and that
coaching may create a burden on home
visitors. As home visitors transition
back to primarily in-person home visits,
there is a need for more information
about strategies to support the
implementation of coaching to
effectively promote positive caregiverchild interactions in virtual and inperson settings, while reducing home
visitor burden and increasing family
acceptance of this strategy. HRSA
intends to use the information collected
to provide evidence-informed resources
and strategies that MIECHV awardees
can use to inform their use of coaching
strategies to strengthen home visiting
services.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include families who receive home
visiting services and MIECHV-funded
home visiting program staff, which may
include program directors, managers,
supervisors, and home visitors.
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
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
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
hours estimated for this ICR are
