Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: 
Comment Request

    In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects 
being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more 
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and draft instruments, e-mail <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#156574657067627a677e557d6766743b727a63"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f98998899c8b8e968b92b9918b8a98d79e968f">[email protected]</span></a> or 
call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.
    Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.
    Proposed Project Title: Interim Evaluation of the Bright Futures 
for Women's Health and Wellness (BFWHW) Initiative, Emotional Wellness 
Consumer Tools--NEW.
    Purpose: The purpose of this project is to design and implement a 
three-year interim evaluation to address initial outcomes for the BFWHW 
emotional wellness tools targeted at consumers. The project is funded 
by the Health Resources and Services Administrations (HRSA), Office of 
Women's Health (OWH). The evaluation will seek to determine (1) the 
acceptability of the tools by the target audiences, (2) strategies for 
ensuring their ongoing use, and (3) the outcomes associated with the 
use of these tools in three to four selected primary care sites.
    The evaluation team will work with HRSA OWH and an Expert Committee 
to identify the questions of interest for the evaluation plan and 
methodology. There will be two major components--a descriptive/process 
component focusing on the design and implementation of the program's 
intervention and an impact component focusing on the preliminary 
outcomes of the intervention on the target audiences and their 
behavioral intentions.
    Respondents:
    Female consumers (adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 and 
adults 18 and older) who receive services from primary care sites or 
community service organizations will receive a written survey on site 
at the time of service.
    Distributors of the Consumer Tools (e.g., healthcare providers, 
program staff, and community stakeholders/organizations) from the three 
to four selected HRSA-funded program sites will respond to a web-based 
written survey.
    Female consumers (adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 and 
adults 18 and older) who receive services from primary care sites or 
community service organizations will be invited to participate in a 
focus group.
