Title: DHHS/ACF/ASPE/DOL 

Enhanced Services for the Hard-toEmploy Demonstration and Evaluation: 

Rhode Island 15-Month Survey 

Amendment. 

OMB No.: 0970–0276. 

Description: The Enhanced Services 

for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration 

and Evaluation Project (HtE) is the most 

ambitious, comprehensive effort to learn 

what works in this area to date and is 

explicitly designed to build on previous 

and on going research by rigorously 

testing a wide variety of approaches to 

promote employment and improve 

family functioning and child well-being. 

The HtE project will ‘‘conduct a multisite evaluation that studies the 

implementation issues, program design, 

net impact and benefit-costs of selected 

programs’’ 1 designed to help Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 

recipients, former TANF recipients, or 

low-income parents who are hard-toemploy. The project is sponsored by the 

Office of Planning, Research and 

Evaluation (OPRE) of the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE) in the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), and the U.S. 

Department of labor (DOL). 

The evaluation involves an 

experimental, random assignment 

design in four sites, testing a diverse set 

of strategies to promote employment for 

low-income parents who face serious 

obstacles to employment. The four 

include: (1) Intensive care management 

to facilitate the use of evidence-base 

treatment for major depression among 

parents receiving Medicaid in Rhode 

Island; (2) job-readiness training, 

worksite placements, job coaching, job 

development and other training 

opportunities for recent parolees in New 

York City; (3) pre-employment services 

and transitional employment for longterm TANF participants in Philadelphia; 

and (4) home- and center-based care, 

enhanced with self-sufficiency services, 

for low-income families who have 

young children or are expecting in 

Kansas and Missouri. 

Materials for follow-up surveys for 

each of these sites were previously 

submitted to OMB and were approved 

on April 29, 2005. The purpose of this 

submission is to introduce an addition 

to the OMB-approved follow-up survey 

effort in the Rhode Island site that will 

be used to collect follow-up data on 

children’s development. 

The additional content we propose for 

the follow-up survey effort will be used 

to address two questions: (1) What are 

the effects of a telephonic care 

management intervention for parents’

depression on parents’ parenting and on 

children’s health, behavior, and 

development; and (2) To what extent 

can intervention effects on children’s 

development be attributed to changes in 

maternal depressive symptomatology 

that result from the intervention? 

Two follow-up surveys are included 

in this submission: 

1. A 15-month follow-up parent 

survey that will supplement other 

information already collected from 

parents by addressing questions about 

parenting and children’s well-being. 

2. A 15-month follow-up direct child 

assessment for up to two selected 

children of these parents. For younger 

children, this assessment will consist of 

cognitive and behavioral assessments 

conducted directly with the children; 

older children will be administered a 

survey, in addition to direct 

assessments. 

Respondents: The respondents to 

these follow-up surveys will be lowincome parents and their children from 

the Rhode Island site currently 

participating in the HtE Project. As 

described in the prior OMB submission, 

these parents are Medicaid recipients 

between the ages of 18 and 45 receiving 

Medicaid through the managed care 

provider United Behavioral Health 

(UBH) in Rhode Island who meet study 

criteria with regard to their risk for 

depression. Children are the biological, 

adopted, and step-children of these 

parents, between the ages of 1 and 18 

years of age. 

Prior to this follow-up survey, all 

parents will have completed a more 

detailed baseline survey, which is 

required to establish baseline measures 

of depression and related conditions, in 

addition to providing critical 

demographic data. The baseline survey 

was previously approved by OMB. 

The annual burden estimates are 

detailed below, and the substantive 

content of each survey will be detailed 

in the supporting statement attached to 

the forthcoming 30-day notice.
