The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seek approval for an information collection activity as part of its effort to describe the activities and short-term outcomes of the National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline) and loveisrespect (LIR) hotline. OPRE and FYSB have contracted with the Department of Prevention and Community Health at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University (GWU) to conduct the Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online Connections, and Text (ADVHOCaT) project.
This non-substantive change request is to make small modifications to the data collection procedures, consent script, and survey instruments associated with the ADVHOCaT Project. We are requesting this non-substantive change to the data collection procedures, consent script and survey instruments as a result of what we learned from our pilot implementation efforts. Supporting Statement A, Supporting Statement B, Attachment C, Instrument 1, and Instrument 2 of the approved ICR have been updated to reflect these requested revisions.
