SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Assessing Strategies to Promote
Children’s Engagement and Active
Participation in Virtual Home Visits
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 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, which 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
strategies home visitors use to engage
children and promote their active
engagement during virtual visits. The
purpose of this information collection is
to better understand, through rapid
cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded
home visiting programs can implement
virtual strategies improve child
engagement and how home visitors can
apply these strategies during in-person
service delivery.
Information will be collected in four
phases designed to (1) identify virtual
child engagement strategies (codefinition phase); (2) pilot test and
identify refinements to improve the
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

implementation of strategies
(installation phase); (3) iteratively test
the strategies with refinements to their
implementation (refinement phase); and
(4) assess the potential of these child
engagement strategies to improve
service delivery and promote family
engagement and family satisfaction with
home visiting programs in both virtual
and in-person settings (summary phase).
Data collection activities include focus
groups, online questionnaires, and
review of documents and administrative
data.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on December 5, 2023,
88 FR 84340–41. There were no public
comments. One home visiting model
developer requested copies of the
information collection forms.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: With the end of the
COVID–19 public health emergency,
most MIECHV-funded home visiting
programs have transitioned back to
some level of in-person service delivery.
However, many continue to offer
occasional virtual home visits if
warranted and appropriate, such as
during inclement weather or due to
family and staff health concerns.
Understanding the virtual strategies that
home visitors used or are using to
address the challenges of engaging
children during virtual home visits, how
these strategies can be implemented,
how these strategies and learned lessons
can be applied to in-person settings, and
how children and families respond to
these strategies will be valuable to the
field. HRSA intends to use collected
information to share evidence-informed
resources and strategies that MIECHV
awardees can use to optimize children’s
engagement and active participation and
strengthen their home visiting services.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include (1) families who receive home
visiting services and (2) MIECHVfunded 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

proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal

Abstract: The Alliance for Innovation
on Maternal Health (AIM) program is
administered by HRSA and authorized
by 42 U.S.C. 254c–21 (Public Health
Service Act, Title III Section 330O), as
added by the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117–
103).
The AIM program supports the
identification, development,
implementation, and dissemination of
maternal (patient) safety bundles to

promote safe care for every U.S. birth
and assist with addressing the complex
problem of high maternal mortality and
severe maternal morbidity rates within
the U.S. The mission of AIM is to
support best practices that make birth
safer, improve the quality of maternal
health care and outcomes, and save
lives. Maternal patient safety bundles
address topics commonly associated
with health complications or risks
related to prenatal, labor and delivery,
and postpartum care.
The AIM program consists of two
components: The AIM Capacity program
and the AIM Technical Assistance (TA)
Center. The AIM Capacity awards began
in fiscal year 2023 and directly fund 28
states and jurisdictions (including U.S.
territories and the District of Columbia)
to implement AIM maternal patient
safety bundles. The second component,
the AIM TA Center, is funded through
a cooperative agreement to provide TA
to all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
jurisdictions, U.S. territories, tribal
communities, and birthing facilities
who participate in the AIM program.
The TA Center builds data capacity for
participating entities to track progress
on bundle implementation and support
improvement of data collection.
The funding amount for the AIM
program was increased in fiscal year
2023, which allowed HRSA to directly
fund states and territories to support
AIM bundle implementation.
Previously, HRSA supported AIM
through one cooperative agreement to
develop maternal patient safety bundles,
provide TA on bundle implementation,
and enroll states and territories in the
program. The shift to directly fund

Abstract: The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting

511 (42 U.S.C. 711) and administered by HRSA in partnership with the
Administration for Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-

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, which aims to
identify and study practices implemented in response to the COVID-19
public health emergency that support evidence-based practice and have
