Abstract: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is submitting the Request for OMB Review in support of an ongoing project to collect contact and follow-up information from children and families who participated in the Head Start Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion (CARES) project. The Head Start CARES project is a group-randomized trial of three social-emotional program enhancements within a diverse set of nationally representative Head Start classrooms. In anticipation of conducting a large-scale Head Start CARES follow-up during the fourth grade and to ensure high response rates for such a follow-up study, ACF would like to continue contacting and tracking families for three years for the Head Start CARES Project: Tracking Participants. Currently, we are seeking OMB approval for three years of data collection from summer 2013 through spring 2016.
