Proposed Project: Assessment of Factors Influencing the Adequacy of 
Health Care Services to Children in Foster Care and Other Out-of-
Home Placements--New

    The Maternal and Child Health Bureau of HRSA is planning to conduct 
a survey of health care services for children in foster care and other 
out-of-home care settings in the United States. This project is aimed 
at identifying the contributing factors affecting the delivery of 
health care services to these children. A survey will be conducted of 
Child Welfare, Child Health/MCH, Medicaid and Mental Health agencies in 
all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five counties in each of 
11 states with county-administered child welfare systems. An additional 
10 counties will be surveyed to include the counties with the largest 
population, bringing the total sample to 65 counties. This survey will 
obtain information describing the range of health service delivery 
arrangements currently provided, obtain a comprehensive assessment of 
the organization and delivery of services, and collect data on what 
different jurisdictions are doing to improve the delivery of health 
services to this population.
    Estimates of the annualized reporting burden are as follows:
