Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the Office on Women's Health Coalition for a Healthier Community Initiative
[top] Abstract: This collection is to provide data for the national evaluation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office on Women's Health (OWH) Coalition for a Healthier Community (CHC) Initiative. The initiative supports 10 communities with grants to support coalitions in implementing gender-based public health systems approaches, evidence-based health interventions, and outreach and education activities to reduce barriers to and enhance facilitators of improvements in women and girls' health.

Likely Respondents: The proposed collection includes plans for interviews with key staff (project directors, project coordinators, local evaluators), coalition members (including chairs and co-chairs), and community leaders connected to the coalitions. These respondents will also complete online surveys about their perceptions of the changes in their community as a result of coalition activities. Program participants and other community members exposed to the coalitions' activities through social media will also complete online surveys. Project directors and local evaluators also annually provide information to OWH on their coalition's functioning, the status of the cost-effectiveness analysis for their coalition's interventions, and the coalition's plans for sustainability. The following table summarizes the "Total Estimated Annualized Burden-Hours" by form and type of respondent.
| Form name | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Average burden per response (in hrs) | Total burden hours |
