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 support for supervisors of home
visitors. A qualified, stable, and
supported home visitor workforce is an
important quality component of home
visiting, and supervision is a key part of
supporting that workforce. The
requested information collection will
explore how training for supervisors
may be linked to home visitor job
satisfaction. It will also examine how
supervisor training in important content
areas (e.g., substance use, intimate
partner violence) may affect the extent
to which home visitors talk to families
about these topics. Data collection will
include an online recruitment survey,
interviews, and focus groups.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA is seeking additional
information about how the MIECHV
Program can train and support
supervisors of home visitors to provide
high-quality supervision. HRSA intends
to use this information to identify
practices that MIECHV awardees and
LIAs could use to best support home
visiting supervisors, improving home
visitors’ ability to deliver high-quality
home visiting services.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV-funded
LIA staff, including program directors,
coordinators, 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
summarized in the table below.
