SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Home Visiting Assessment of Implementation Quality Study: Understanding Supervisor Supports in Home Visiting OMB No. 0906-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, evidence-based 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 (LIAs) to provide home visiting services to eligible families in at-risk communities.
Through the Home Visiting Assessment of Implementation Quality study, HRSA aims to examine specific components of the Home Visiting Implementation Quality Conceptual Framework to inform strategies for implementing high quality home visiting programs. One of the three quality components the study will focus on is support for supervisors of home visitors. A qualified, stable, and supported home visitor workforce is an important quality component of home visiting, and supervision is a key part of supporting that workforce. The requested information collection will explore how training for supervisors may be linked to home visitor job satisfaction. It will also examine how supervisor training in important content areas ( e.g., substance use, intimate partner violence) may affect the extent to which home visitors talk to families about these topics. Data collection will include an online recruitment survey, interviews, and focus groups.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on February 2, 2024 at 89 FR 7400-01. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA is seeking additional information about how the MIECHV Program can train and support supervisors of home visitors to provide high-quality supervision. HRSA intends to use this information to identify practices that MIECHV awardees and LIAs could use to best support home visiting supervisors, improving home visitors' ability to deliver high-quality home visiting services.
[top] Likely Respondents: MIECHV-funded LIA staff, including program directors, coordinators, supervisors, and home visitors.
