Description
CDC' s DELTA Impact Program is an initiative focused on decreasing IPV risk factors and increasing IPV protective factors. It is focused on increasing strategic
data-driven planning and sustainable use of community and societal level primary prevention activities that address the social determinants of health (SDOH) and
are based on the best available evidence. In addition, the program helps to further develop the evidence-base for community and societal-level programs and
policy efforts to prevent IPV by increasing the use of evaluation and existing surveillance data at the state and local level. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) seeks a new information collection request to collect information from DELTAâ

s 10 funding recipients (State Domestic Violence Coalitions)

and 17 sub-recipients (Coordinated Community Response Teams) funded through CDCâ

s Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through

Alliances (DELTA) Impact Program cooperative agreement (NOFO CDC-RFA-CE18-1801). DELTA Impact is a non-research NOFO. Per CDC’s programmatic NOFO
requirements, data collected for non-research (i.e., programmatic) NOFOs are not population-based samples and are only generalizable to the DELTA recipients.
The intention of this data collection is not to make causal inferences. The conclusions drawn from these data may not generalize to the entire country due to
differences in the demographics of targeted populations, policies, and implementing agencies. In addition, because this is not a research cooperative agreement,
states are not required to implement rigorous research designs that have strong internal validity and produce generalizable knowledge. The data collected will be
used for program evaluation and improvement purposes.

Goals/Purpose
The information collection effort will support the program evaluation of the DELTA Impact NOFO. Information collected will provide valuable insight into the
implementation of the IPV prevention strategies at the state and local levels. Additionally, these instruments will enable in-depth exploration of the barriers and
facilitators DELTA recipients have experienced with respect to achieving the specific goals and outcomes outlined in their implementation and evaluation plans for
each program or policy effort. CDC will use information collected to evaluate the initiative and inform technical assistance, program improvement, and capacity
building.

Objective
The objectives of this information collection are to increase CDC’s understanding of: a) the implementation of the NOFO; b) achievement of the NOFO outcomes,
and c) facilitators, barriers, and critical factors related to implementation and evaluation of specific violence prevention strategies.

CDC's Role
Activity originated and designed by CDC staff, or conducted at the specific request of CDC, or CDC staff will approve study design and data collection as a condition
of any funding provided: CDC employees of agents will obtain data by intervening or interacting with participants: CDC employees will participate as co-authors in
presentation(s) or publication(s)

Method Categories
Individual Interviews (Qualitative): Survey

Methods
Key Informant Interviews: Data will be collected via telephone using a semi-structured interview guide. Using qualitative data collection methods will help solicit
rich data on how activities were performed, why, and related contexts. Moreover, evaluators will be able to verify responses and request clarification in real time as
needed during the data collection process. The telephone interview method was chosen to reduce the overall burden on respondents by allowing more scheduling
flexibility than in-person interviews. The telephone interview guides were designed to collect the minimum information necessary for the purpose of the data

collection by limiting questions to those that address the specific data collection objectives. Additional probes and prompts are included to aid the interviewers with
clarifying and elaborating on the main questions. Subrecipient Survey: CDC will collect a web-based survey from sub-recipients to obtain insight into the
experience and perspectives of the Coordinated Community Response Teams. One designated staff member from each the 17 CCRs will complete the Subrecipient
Survey. The survey provides a unique opportunity to systematically gather lessons learned directly from the sub-recipients regarding their implementation and
evaluation of community and societal level primary prevention strategies. CDC will use the information collected to understand facilitators and barriers experienced
by community-based organizations operating in specific contexts. The information will allow CDC to identify areas of improvement and additional technical
assistance to support both SDVCs and sub-recipients. The survey instrument is designed to assess progress made by sub-recipients in reaching their intermediate
outcomes related to capacity, prioritization, and resources to implement community and societal level primary prevention efforts.

Prevention Infrastructure

Assessment: The primary contact at each State Domestic Violence Coalition will report information about their infrastructure and capacity to implement primary
prevention at the community and societal level using the Prevention Infrastructure Assessment. The assessment will be conducted via a web-based survey in years
3 and 5 of the project period. The tool assesses change in prioritization, resources, and capacity among the SDVCs. CDC will use the data from the Prevention
Infrastructure Assessment Survey to tailor technical assistance and training for recipients and to track increases in infrastructure over the project period. The
information collection will also allow CDC to measure the aggregate increase in support for and resources devoted to community and societal level prevention
across all 10 recipients. We will notify respondents that all of the information we collect will be kept secure, and the only people who will have access to
identifiable information are the people on the CDC team involved with the project. After the interviews are conducted, the evaluation team will conduct thematic
analysis and the findings will only be shared in aggregate form.

Collection of Info, Data, or Bio specimens
Information will be collected through the following instruments; a) Key Informant Interviews with Coalition Project Leads and Coalition Evaluators, b) Sub-Recipient
Surveys, and c) Prevention Infrastructure Assessments. Data collection is not expected to last more than 30-60 minutes depending on the method and respondent.

Expected Use of Findings/Results and their impact
The findings from both of the web-based surveys and interviews will be used to help CDC identify facilitators and barriers, best practices, and areas for
improvement for implementing IPV prevention efforts. Information collected will also be used to improve technical assistance provided by CDC to recipients and to
inform planning of future programmatic efforts. The results of analysis will be included in the development of evaluation briefs, one pagers, other communication
materials, presentations at national public health conferences and manuscripts.

Other- Program Evaluation – specific data not generalizable – small sample of awardee and sub
awardee staff

Public Access justification

We will not be sharing the raw data from this evaluation. It is a small non-generalizable sample of
project directors, evaluators and implementers and the data are being used primarily to improve the
program. However, we will share findings in aggregate form with other recipients, researchers and
evaluators and public health officials to inform practice and share lessons learned. The findings will
help with program improvement and our TA. Data from interviews will not be useful for additional
analyses beyond the summarized information that will be provided publicly through a peer-reviewed
publication, fact sheets, and other communication materials.

How Access Will Be Provided for Data

The raw data will be accessed by the evaluation team only. All of the information we collect will be
kept secure on a share drive accessible by the project team. The only people who will have access
to personal identifiable information are those on the CDC team involved with the project. The audiorecording will be destroyed after the project ends.

Plans for archival and long-term preservation of

secure on a share drive accessible by the project team only. Survey data collected and interview
summary notes will be kept through the end of the DELTA Impact funding period February 2022
plus two additional years for analysis purposes. All data will be discarded in February 2024. Data
will be maintained in a secure, password-protected system, and information will be reported in
aggregate form.
