Abstract: OMB approved the impact and implementation studies and instruments for the OPRE Study, Supporting Youth to be Successful in Life (SYSIL) on July 27, 2021 (OMB #0970-0574). Baseline data collection with youth for the impact study began in September 2021. Data collection for the 6-month and 12-month follow-up surveys began in April 2022 and October 2022, respectively. The first round of check-in calls began late 2022 and is complete. The second round of check-in calls began February 2024 and is complete. The first round of interviews and focus groups began May 2022 and is complete. OPRE is requesting approval for proposed changes to the previously approved interview and focus group protocols, as well as an additional round of interviews and focus groups. The purpose of the proposed revisions is to better understand staff and youth experiences in delivering and receiving services. We are requesting three additional years of approval of this study.
