The Sexual Risk Avoidance Education
Program Performance Analysis Study (SRAE PAS) is a descriptive
study that seeks to collect performance measures data from SRAE
program participants and providers that will allow both the program
office and grantees to monitor and report on progress in
implementing SRAE programs. With this new information collection
request (ICR), the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and
Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) seek approval for collecting data
from SRAE program participants and providers. These data will
provide ACF with up-to-date information on youth participant
characteristics, service receipt, and outcomes, and on program
infrastructure, reach and scope, and program content. This is the
first federal effort to collect performance measures data on sexual
risk avoidance programming.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
