REFUGEE HEALTH PROMOTION

Program Data Indicators


OVERVIEW


The purpose of these data indicators is to help the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) assess the progress of the Refugee Health Promotion (RHP) Program’s two main objectives of promoting health literacy and reducing gaps in health services.


All grantees are required to collect and report aggregate program data for clients served through the RHP program. If a program has multiple funding sources, only clients served with RHP funding should be included. Program data include both new and continuing clients, unless instructed otherwise.


The Program Data Indicators are reported on an annual basis and are to be submitted on September 14, along with the semi-annual Performance Progress Report (PPR) and Federal Financial Report (FFR).


For more information about program reporting requirements, please refer to the FOA that aligns with current funding.

Where applicable, provide the number of unduplicated individual clients served for each demographic in the ‘Total’ column. Do not leave any blanks; indicate ‘0’ where applicable.


01: TOTAL NUMBER OF CLIENTS SERVED


Data Indicator


Total

1. Total unduplicated number of clients served



Definition:

Total number of clients served: Total unduplicated number of clients receiving service(s) or materials supported by RHP. This total should be calculated using only those data points below that ask for number of clients, and then de-duplicated so that each client is only counted once here. Clients are defined as refugees and refugee-like populations. Do not include service providers receiving RHP-funded trainings.


Note: If there are clients receiving multiple services (e.g., case management and health education), they may be counted more than once in the Services section II below (that is, data points II.1 through II.3); this will make the total unduplicated number listed above less than the total sum of the people who received services counted in data points II.1 through II.3.


02: TOTAL NUMBER OF CLIENTS SERVED BY IMMIGRATION STATUS


2. Number of unduplicated clients served by immigration status


Refugee


Asylee


SIV


Cuban or Haitian Entrant

This also includes derivative (family member) refugees who were granted refugee status (Visa 93) as the spouse or unmarried child under age 21 of a principal refugee.


  • Asylee: The client filed for asylum after entering the United States and was granted asylum by the time of receiving RHP services. This also includes derivatives (family members) who were granted asylum status (Visa 92) as the spouse or unmarried child under age 21 of a principal asylee.


  • Special Immigrant Visa holder: Individuals who enter to the U.S. through the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program which grants visas to nationals from Iraq and Afghanistan who have provided faithful and valuable service to the U.S. government, while employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government, and who have experienced or are experiencing an ongoing serious threat as a consequence of that employment.


  • Cuban or Haitian Entrant: Cuban and Haitian entrants are defined as (a) Any individual granted parole status (by DHS) as a Cuban/Haitian Entrant (Status Pending) or granted any other special status subsequently established under the immigration laws for nationals of Cuba or Haiti, regardless of the status of the individual at the time assistance or services are provided and (b) Any other national of Cuba or Haiti (1) Who: (i) was paroled into the United States and has not acquired any other status under the INA; (ii) is the subject of exclusion or deportation proceedings under the INA; or (iii) has an application for asylum pending with (DHS); and (2) With respect to whom a final, non-appealable, and legally enforceable order of deportation or exclusion has not been entered.


  • Victim of Trafficking: Foreign adult victims of human trafficking are eligible for Federal and State benefits and services to the same extent as refugees upon issuance of a Certification Letter by HHS; foreign children under the age of 18 who are victims of trafficking do not need to be certified, but receive an Eligibility Letter to access benefits and services.


Note: Clients who have adjusted their status to Lawful Permanent Resident (green card holder) should be counted under the immigration status that first entitled them to be eligible for refugee benefits. The client count by immigration status should be unduplicated (i.e., each client counted once).
