Proposed Information Collection

Activity; Comment Request Proposed

Projects

Title: Early Head Start Evaluation.

OMB No.: 0970–0143.

Description: The Head Start

Reauthorization Act of 1994 established

a special initiative creating funding for

services for families with infants and

toddlers. In response the Administration

on Children, Youth and Families

(ACYF) designated the Early Head Start

(EHS) program. In September 1995,

ACYE awarded grants to 68 local

programs to serve families with infants

and toddlers. ACYF awarded grants to

an additional 75 local programs in

September 1996.

EHS programs are designated to

produce outcomes in four domains: (1)

child development, (2) family

development, (3) staff development, and

(4) community development. The

Reauthorization required that this new

initiative be evaluated. To study the

effect of the initiative, ACYE awarded a

contract through a competitive

procurement to Mathematica Policy

Research, Inc. (MPR) with a subcontract

to Columbia University’s Center for

Young Children and Families. The

evaluation will be carried out from

October 1, 1995 through September 30,

2000. Data collection activities that are

the subject to this Federal Register

notice are intended for the second phase

of the EHS evaluation.

The sample for the child and family

assessments will be approximately

3,400 families who include a pregnant

women or a child under 12 months of

age, in 17 EHS study sites. Each family

will be randonly assigned to a treatment

group or a control group. The sample for

the child care assessments will include

the primary child care provider for the

focal child in each of the 3,400 study

sample families. The surveys and

assessments will be conducted through

computer-assisted telephone and

personal interviewing, pencil and paper

self-administered questionnaires,

structured observations and

videotaping. All data collection

instruments have been designed to

minimize the burden on respondents by

minimizing interviewing and

assessment time. Participation in the

study is voluntary and confidential.

The information will be used by

government managers, Congress and

others to identify the features and

evaluate the effectiveness of the EHS

program.

Respondents: Applicants to the Early

Head Start program and child care

providers for Early Head Start families

and control group families.
