Submission for (Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Review; Sexual
Risk Avoidance Education Program
Performance Analysis Study—
Extension OMB #0970–0536)
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) and
the Family and Youth Services Bureau
in the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) request an extension
without changes to a currently approved
information collection activity as part of
the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education
(SRAE) Program Performance Analysis
Study (PAS). The goal of the study is to
collect, analyze, and report on
performance measures data for the
SRAE program (OMB Control No. 0970–
0536; expiration date 12/31/2023). The
SUMMARY:
purpose of the requested extension is to
continue the ongoing data collection
and submission of the performance
measures by SRAE grantees. Materials
under the submission will be updated to
reflect only surveys currently in use.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purpose of the SRAE
program is to educate youth on how to
voluntarily refrain from nonmarital
sexual activity and prevent other youth
risk behaviors. Data will continue to be
used to determine if the SRAE grantees
are meeting performance benchmarks
related to their program’s mission and
priorities.
The SRAE PAS collects performance
measures data from SRAE grantees,
84821
program providers, and participants.
The data include information on
program structure, cost, and support for
implementation; program attendance,
reach, and dosage; the characteristics of
youth involved in programming; youth
sexual and other risky behavior prior to
program participation; and youth sexual
and other risky behavior intentions at
program exit. The performance
measures help the ACF program office
and grantees to monitor and report on
progress in implementing SRAE
programs and inform technical
assistance.
Some of the performance measures
data come from youth participants
through surveys SRAE grantees
administer at program entry and exit.
There are separate versions of the entry
and exit surveys for middle school
youth, which exclude some of the more
sensitive items that are included in the
versions for high school and older
youth. There is also a shorter version of
the entry survey for programs
conducting impact studies, to reduce
the burden on participants in those
programs who are likely responding to
other surveys as part of their impact
study. Although there was a version of
the exit survey for programs conducting
impact studies in the past, youth in
these programs complete the same
version of the exit survey as other
youth. As the shorter exit surveys are no
longer in use, they will be removed
through this request.
Respondents: General Departmental
(GDSRAE), State (SSRAE), and
Competitive (CSRAE) grantees, their
subrecipients, and program participants.

Title of the Collection: Continued
Evaluation of the National Hypertension
Control Initiative.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990–0482–OS/Office of
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)/
Office of Minority Health (OMH).
Abstract: As part of the federal
response to COVID–19, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS)/Office of Secretary (OS)/
Office of Assistant Secretary for Health
(OASH)/Office of Minority Health
(OMH) has funded a new initiative
involving two cooperative agreements
with the American Heart Association
(AHA) to improve COVID–19-related
health outcomes by addressing
hypertension (high blood pressure)
among racial and ethnic minority
populations.
The $32 million project from the HHS
Office of Minority Health (OMH) and
the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) Bureau of
Primary Health Care will support the
implementation of the National
Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI),
a national initiative to improve blood
pressure control among the most at-risk
populations, including racial and ethnic
minorities.
The NHCI will support 350
participating HRSA-funded health
centers by providing patient and
provider education and training for
effective hypertension control and
integration of remote blood pressure
monitoring technology into treating
hypertension for patients served by
participating health centers. The project
will also utilize the American Heart
Association’s targeted media campaigns
and existing partnerships with
community-based organizations (CBOs)
to help reach Black, Latino, and other
impacted communities with (i)
culturally and linguistically appropriate
messages, (ii) access to blood pressure
screenings, and (iii) connection to

health centers to encourage proper
treatment and management of
hypertension of screened individuals.
This initiative serves to increase the
number of adult patients with
controlled hypertension and reduce the
potential risk of COVID-related health
outcomes.
AHA aims to conduct an evaluation to
assess the feasibility of the
implementation of each of the three
NHCI strategies. The findings of this
evaluation will inform the improvement
and tailoring of AHA’s communication
approaches about the importance of and
techniques for improving blood pressure
control, including the benefits of
accurately measuring, rapidly acting,
and having a patient-focused approach
to blood pressure control.
Methodology
The current proposed evaluation of
the NHCI project will use a mixed
methods design, integrating both
quantitative and qualitative data
collection and analyses. Three main
goals of data collection will be to: (1)
track and monitor Community Health
Workers’ (CHW) progress on activities
related to knowledge and practices for
blood pressure control and general
health quarterly, (2) assess the reach and
success of NHCI project strategies
implemented by CHC partners.
Specifically, the AHA will engage in:
Primary Data Collection
CHW Application. Collecting
information on participating
Community Health Workers (CHWs) at
a single point in time to assist with
placement in workforce activities
related to blood pressure control.
CHW Assessment Form. Monitoring
the placement and community-based
goals of CHWs participating in the NHCI
at a single point in time.
CHW Empowered To Serve (ETS)
Program Modules. Administering health
lessons and quizzes to Community
Health Workers (CHWs) working with
Community-based Organizations and
Community Health Centers to assess

ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) and
the Family and Youth Services Bureau in the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF) request an extension without changes to a currently
approved information collection activity as part of the Sexual Risk
Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program Performance Analysis Study (PAS).
The goal of the study is to collect, analyze, and report on performance
measures data for the SRAE program (OMB Control No. 0970-0536;
expiration date 12/31/2023). The purpose of the requested extension is
to continue the ongoing data collection and submission of the
performance measures by SRAE grantees. Materials under the submission
will be updated to reflect only surveys currently in use.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purpose of the SRAE program is to educate youth on
how to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity and prevent
other youth risk behaviors. Data will continue to be used to determine
if the SRAE grantees are meeting performance benchmarks related to
their program's mission and priorities.
The SRAE PAS collects performance measures data from SRAE grantees,
program providers, and participants. The data include information on
program structure, cost, and support for implementation; program
attendance, reach, and dosage; the characteristics of youth involved in
programming; youth sexual and other risky behavior prior to program
participation; and youth sexual and other risky behavior intentions at
program exit. The performance measures help the ACF program office and
grantees to monitor and report on progress in implementing SRAE
programs and inform technical assistance.
Some of the performance measures data come from youth participants
through surveys SRAE grantees administer at program entry and exit.
There are separate versions of the entry and exit surveys for middle
school youth, which exclude some of the more sensitive items that are
included in the versions for high school and older youth. There is also
a shorter version of the entry survey for programs conducting impact
studies, to reduce the burden on participants in those programs who are
likely responding to other surveys as part of their impact study.
Although there was a version of the exit survey for programs conducting
impact studies in the past, youth in these programs complete the same
version of the exit survey as other youth. As the shorter exit surveys
are no longer in use, they will be removed through this request.
Respondents: General Departmental (GDSRAE), State (SSRAE), and
Competitive (CSRAE) grantees, their subrecipients, and program
participants.
