Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) proposes a data collection effort related to the National Evaluation of the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program—National Descriptive Study.

The National Descriptive Study (of the National Evaluation of the SRAE Program) has multiple components. This information collection request only pertains to the Early Implementation Study, which will provide an early catalogue of SRAE programs' implementation. ACF seeks approval to collect the following information:

The purpose of this collection effort is to conduct surveys with administrators/program directors in each of the states/organizations that received SRAE grants to better understand what key decisions states/organizations made regarding the design of their SRAE-funded programs and why they made those decisions.

—Interview Guide for Use with SRAE grantees. The purpose of this collection effort is to conduct semi-structured interviews, that follow-on the surveys, with administrators/program directors in each of the states/organizations that received SRAE grants: the interviews will offer long-answer, qualitative responses to key questions, to better understand what key decisions states/organizations made regarding the design of their SRAE-funded programs and why they made those decisions.

Respondents: State level administrators; Agency administrators; Organization heads; Project directors.
