Abstract: This is the fourth request for revisions to OMB #0970-0462. This revised request for clearance seeks approval for: 1. COVID-19 Cohort Short-term Survey (COVID-19 Cohort STS): This survey is a revised version of the previously approved Short-term Follow-Up Survey. The goal is to measure the short-term impacts of HPOG 2.0 for study participants enrolled after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (May 2020-September 2021). This will help us understand the impact of COVID-19 on program operations and participant outcomes. This also includes revisions to the supplemental materials associated with this data collection. 2. New supporting materials to support the re-engagement of participants selected for a long-term follow-up survey of HPOG 2.0 participants—a newsletter and an outbound call script for collecting updated contact data, both of which will help enhance the contact information update procedures previously approved under OMB #0970-0462.
