 *Title:*
                     Cross-Site Evaluation of the Children's Bureau Grantee. *Cluster:*
                     Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs to Prevent Child Maltreatment (EBHV). *OMB No.:*
                     New Collection. *Description:*
                     The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing this cross-site evaluation data collection activity to identify successful strategies for adopting, implementing, and sustaining high-quality home visitation programs to prevent child maltreatment. An evaluation study will address four domains: (1) Systems change to develop infrastructure, (2) fidelity to home visiting models, (3) costs, and (4) family and child outcomes (via a review of grantee analysis reports). A process study will focus on the broader grant initiative to understand how programs plan and develop the infrastructure needed to support home visitation services and how programs ensure service quality. Information will be collected through biennial site visits, semi-annual progress reports, and monthly entries into a web-based data system. Site visits will include interviews with key grantee staff and stakeholders involved in the execution of the grant and in the efforts to make system changes. Progress report cross-site evaluation data will capture the costs of home visiting and provide additional information on systems change. Web-based data entry will include EBHV program and participant characteristics along with systems change updates on goals and operations every six months. Additionally, cross-
                    ( print page 29702)
                    site data will be collected via questionnaires on the home visit relationship and a systems partnership survey. *Respondents:*
