Abstract: ACF is implementing a multi-pronged research and evaluation approach for the HPOG program to better understand and assess the activities conducted and their results. The current submission is in support of the HPOG Impact Study (HPOG-Impact). Currently, we request a revision to OMB clearance number 0970-0394 to add baseline questions to the PRS, which is currently in use by all HPOG grantees. These added questions will be administered to HPOG-Impact study participants only, including both those in the treatment group(s) and control group, at baseline (i.e., prior to random assignment and prior to intake into the programs studied for the treatment group) in conjunction with the currently approved PRS. These Supplemental Baseline Questions will complement baseline data already being collected about the universe of HPOG program participants through the PRS.
