Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 3, 2024 / Notices
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 (LIAs) to
provide home visiting services to
eligible families in at-risk communities.
HRSA aims to explore how families
that experience disparities in outcomes
targeted by the MIECHV program
experience home visiting services. This
study is an initial step in understanding
those experiences and will provide a
better understanding of how MIECHVfunded 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.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 5, 2023,
vol. 88, No. 84339; pp. 84341–42. HRSA
received one response to the request for
public comment from a home visiting
model developer. The commentor
expressed concerns about the estimated
burden for focus groups and the request
for information from programs and over
surveying families, suggesting using
previously collected data, and made
suggestions for language changes
including use of plain language,
clarifying instructions, and providing
questions in advance. In response to
these comments, the burden hours were
increased for focus groups, clarifying
instructions were added to the LIA
Leadership Interview Protocol and edits
were made to plain language. The
burden estimate was not increased for
the information form for LIAs as it did
not fall under the definition for public
burden. The suggestion of using
information already collected from
families was not taken as there is not
currently existing data of this nature. In
addition, Family Focus Group Protocol
and Family Case Study Focus Group
Protocol have been combined to one
form as the protocols were similar.
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.
This information collection is part of the
Home Visiting Assessment of
Implementation Quality Study, which
will examine specific components of the
Home Visiting Implementation Quality
Conceptual Framework, to inform
strategies for implementing high quality
home visiting programs. 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
awardees that are states, nonprofit
organizations, and tribes; LIA staff
(program directors, coordinators,
supervisors, and home visitors); and
families that experience greater
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
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

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
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.
(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
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:
1. Primary Data Collection.
a. 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.
b. CHW Assessment Form. Monitoring
the placement and community-based
goals of CHWs participating in the NHCI
at a single point in time.
c. CHW Program Modules.
Administering health lessons and
quizzes to Community Health Workers
(CHWs) working with Community-based
Organizations and Community Health
Centers to assess knowledge, skills, and
practices both before (pre) and after
(post) completion of the modules.
d. CHC Surveys. Conducting online
data collection on participation and use
of NHCI services and supports with
CHC staff, with a single collection for
each survey.

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
