Abstract: OMB approved the impact and implementation studies and instruments for the OPRE Study, Supporting Youth to be Successful in Life (SYSIL) on July 27, 2021. Baseline data collection with youth for the impact study began in September 2021. Data collection for the 6-month and 12-month follow-up surveys began in April 2022 and October 2022, respectively. Two non-substantive changes were requested and approved in December 2021 (expansion of sample) and June 2022 (additional reminders to participants and informational documents). The approved collection includes contacting youth periodically to remind them to complete a survey and to notify us of any contact information updates. After beginning outreach for the 6-month and 12-month surveys, we received feedback from youth that some questions on the survey were emotionally draining and as a result, some youth do not complete survey. To ensure that the research process is trauma-informed for youth, we want to be mindful of these triggers and honor this request. Youth are informed that they can skip any questions that they do not want to answer and many questions offer a response option of “choose not to answer.” To further minimize discomfort and, hopefully, increase a youth’s ability to complete the survey, we propose removing the survey items reported as particularly sensitive. The approved collection includes contacting youth periodically via text and email to notify Mathematica of any contact information updates. We would now like to revise this outreach to incorporate four short contact information requests to provide an opportunity for youth to confirm their current contact information and continue to engage and familiarize youth with the SYSIL study.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We propose adjusting the questions on the 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up surveys to reduce the potential for emotional discomfort for respondents. We anticipate removing the proposed items will decrease the burden to complete each survey by 5 minutes (0.08 hours). Additionally, we propose replacing the currently approved contact update process with four short contact information requests (Instrument 5). The contact information update requests are estimated to take 5 minutes to complete (.08 hours) and that 50 percent of youth will complete each of the four requests. Overall, the changes proposed in this request result in a decrease to the total annual burden estimates from 489 hours to 461 hours. See associated nonsubstantive change memo for additional information about proposed changes.
