Abstract: The Office of Minority Health (OMH) and Office of Women's Health (OWH) are seeking an approval by OMB on a new information collection, Youth Engagement in Sports (YES Initiative) Performance Measures (hereafter YES Initiative Performance Measures). The purpose of this data collection is to gather quantitative data from YES grant recipients to monitor project performance in achieving process and outcome measures over the course of the three-year project. Grantees will collect a small set of process and outcome measures from program participants to assess the degree to which YES Initiative projects increase sports participation and physical activity and improve nutrition in adolescents.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The clearance is needed to collect performance data to enable OMH and OWH to comply with Federal reporting requirements, monitor, and evaluate performance by enabling the efficient collection of performance-oriented data tied to OMH- and OWH-wide performance reporting needs. The ability to monitor and evaluate performance in this manner, and to work towards continuous program improvement are basic functions that OMH and OWH must be able to accomplish in order to carry out their respective mandates with the most effective and appropriate use of resources.

Likely Respondents: Project Directors, Youth Participants, Data Entry Persons Affected public includes non-profit institutions, State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
