seeks to evaluate the efficacy of TLC,
which provides combination
(biomedical, behavioral and social/
structural) HIV prevention and care
services to adult transgender women at
high risk for HIV infection, in a
culturally specific and accessible
environment.
The information collected will help
evaluate whether the TLC intervention
is an effective HIV-prevention strategy
by assessing whether exposure to TLC
services results in improvements in
participants’ health and HIV prevention
behaviors. In addition, CDC will assess
whether intervention participants’
behaviors significantly change from
baseline to 4 and 8-month follow-up
periods.
CDC will conduct the study in the
TLC program’s home base of Chicago,
Illinois. The study population will
include 150 HIV-negative adult
transgender women living in the
Chicago metropolitan area. Participants
will be at least 18 years of age; selfidentify as transgender, transsexual,
women and/or female whom had
assigned male sex at birth; and have a
self-reported history of sex with men in
the past four months. The study
population will also include 10 TLC
staff members. Staff members will be

CDC will also examine intervention
experiences through semi-structured
interview with 20 of the 150 TLC
participants and 10 TLC staff members
involved in the delivery of services
through the TLC intervention. The
interviews will capture participants and
staff views about the TLC
implementation process, the process
through which the TLC intervention
influences HIV risk behavior, and the
role of the intervention in addressing
social determinates of health (housing,
employment, legal issues, health care
access).
CDC expects that 50% of transgender
women screened will meet study
eligibility and the initial screening to
take approximately four minutes to
complete. It will take respondents one
minute to provide contact information.
On three occasions, CDC will administer
the assessment to 150 participants. The
assessment will take 60 minutes (1
hour) to complete. On a single occasion,
CDC will administer the interview to 30
participants (20 intervention
participants and 10 TLC staff). The
interview will take 60 minutes (1 hour)
to complete.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
252.

adults, involved in the delivery of TLC
intervention services.
CDC anticipates enrollment of a
diverse sample of transgender women
comprised mainly of racial/ethnic
minority participants under 35 years of
age, consistent with the current TLC
program and the epidemiology of HIV
infection among transgender women.
Intervention participants recruited to
the study through a combination of
approaches, including traditional print
advertisement, referral, in-person
outreach, and through word of mouth.
TLC staff members will randomly
selected to participate in the evaluation.
CDC will use a quantitative
assessment to collect information for
this study. Researchers will deliver the
assessment at the time of study
enrollment and again at 4-month and 8month follow-ups. CDC will use the
assessment to measure changes in
sexual risk behavior including condom
use and pre-exposure prophylaxis
(PrEP) care engagement. Intervention
mediators, including gender affirmation,
collective self-esteem and social
support, and intervention satisfaction
measured. Participants will complete
the assessment at baseline and again at
4- and 8-month follow-ups after joining
the TLC program.

part of the Mother and Infant Home
Visiting Program Evaluation Long-Term
Follow-Up project (MIHOPE–LT). The
purpose of MIHOPE–LT is to conduct
follow-up studies that assess the longterm impact of the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting
(MIECHV) Program. The design of
MIHOPE–LT calls for multiple followup points including when the
participating children are in
kindergarten, 3rd grade, early
adolescence, and late adolescence. This
Federal Register Notice is specific to the
first follow-up study. Data collected
during the first follow-up study (when
the children from the MIHOPE sample
are of kindergarten age) will include the
following: (1) A one-hour survey with

the child’s primary caregiver (who will
be the mother if she is available), (2)
direct assessments of child
development, (3) a semi-structured
interview with the caregiver, (4) surveys
with the child’s teacher, (5) a direct
assessment of the caregiver, and (6) 15
minutes of videotaped interactions
between the caregiver and child. In
addition to collecting these data, the
MIHOPE–LT project will also maintain

up-to-date consent forms for the
collection of administrative data. Future
information collection requests and
related Federal Register Notices will
describe future data collection efforts for
this project.
Data collected during the
kindergarten follow-up study will be
used to estimate the effects of MIECHVfunded programs on seven domains: (1)
Maternal health; (2) child health; (3)

child development and school
performance; (4) child maltreatment; (5)
parenting; (6) crime or domestic
violence; and (7) family economic selfsufficiency.
Respondents: The respondents in this
follow-up study will include 4,115
families who participated in MIHOPE
and 4,115 teachers of the focal children
from those families.

collaboration with the Health Resources
and Services Administration, Maternal
and Child Health Bureau, has awarded
grants for the Tribal Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program (Tribal Home Visiting). The
Tribal Home Visiting discretionary
grants support cooperative agreements
to conduct community needs
assessments; plan for and implement
high-quality, culturally-relevant,
evidence-based home visiting programs
in at-risk tribal communities; establish,
measure, and report on progress toward
meeting performance measures in six
legislatively-mandated benchmark
areas; and conduct rigorous evaluation
activities to build the knowledge base
on home visiting among Native
populations.
Tribal Home Visiting grantees have
been notified that in every year of their
grant, after the first year, they must
comply with the requirement for
submitting an Annual Report to the
Secretary that should feature activities
carried out under the program during
the past reporting period and a final
report to the Secretary during the final
year of their grant. In order to assist
grantees with meeting the requirements
of the Annual and Final Report to the
Secretary, ACF created guidance for
grantees to use when writing their
reports. The existing guidance (OMB
Control No. 0970–0409, Expiration Date
10/31/18) provides sections where
grantees must address the following:
• Update on Home Visiting Program
Goals and Objectives
• Update on the Implementation of
Home Visiting Program in Targeted
Community(ies)
