The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) seeks approval for a study of Tribal Maternal, Infant and
Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) programs. The Multi-Site
Implementation Evaluation of Tribal Home Visiting (MUSE) is the
first multi-site, multi-model study that will systematically
explore how home visiting programs are operating across diverse
tribal community contexts and identify factors that lead to
programs’ successes. The evaluation will provide information that
will help the federal government design and support federal home
visiting initiatives in tribal communities and similar populations.
Evaluation findings will also assist programs with improving home
visiting services for children and families. Through the proposed
information collection, the evaluators will obtain information
about the planning processes employed by Tribal MIECHV programs,
the services implemented by those programs, the characteristics of
staff and caregivers receiving services, and how staff and
caregivers experience home visiting services. The evaluation will
collect information through secondary data analysis, surveys of
program staff and caregivers, qualitative interviews with staff and
caregivers and administrative program data.
