The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) seeks approval for collection of data to conduct the
multi-site evaluation (MSE) of Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for
Unmet Needs in Children’s Health). OMB has approved a previous data
collection package for Project LAUNCH (OMB Control # 0970-0373).
This current request is a nonsubstantive change request to update
two letters (Attachment W). The Project LAUNCH Multi-Site
Evaluation (MSE) was initially funded by an Interagency Agreement
between the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) and ACF. This contract, which SAMHSA now
funds directly, was awarded to NORC at the University of Chicago
and includes the design of and data collection for the MSE. While
we propose to utilize some items that are similar to those that
have already been approved, the research proposed in this package
seeks to evaluate the impact of Project LAUNCH at the community
level—the intended focus of the program—and relies on instruments
and measures that differ from those used in the previous stage of
the evaluation.
