Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Policies Database Pop-Up Survey of Website Users


PURPOSE:

Funded by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the CCDF Policies Database is a source of information on the detailed policies used to operate child care subsidy programs under the CCDF. Since 2008, the Urban Institute has collected, coded, and disseminated the CCDF policies in effect across the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories and outlying areas, using consistent methods across places and over time. Beginning in 2017, the CCDF Policies Database project has provided access to the data and reports on a central website (https://ccdf.urban.org).


ACF seeks approval to add a pop-up user survey to the CCDF Policies Database project website to determine how users are accessing and using the data. This brief survey will inform future improvements to the website and project resources. The survey will include three short questions, each with a set of answers/options users can check off (see Attachment A). Users will have the option to complete or opt out of the survey.
