Over a four-week period, providers will record two audio journal entries each week where they will record their stories and reflections about the care they offer children and families. Providers will submit audio recordings in response to the prompts below. These prompts are included in an app called EthOS; the app is loaded onto the phone lent to providers by the study team. Detailed instructions for providers are included in Instrument 3. Provider logistics call and Appendix C. Instructions for Providers to Use Study Tools.
The EthOS app will also include the following Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Burden Statement as part of text with general instructions for submitting the photo and audio journal entries.
The
PRA Burden Statement:
This collection of information is voluntary and will be used to
learn about the experiences of child care providers. Public
reporting burden for this collection of information (which includes
photo journals [Instrument 4] and audio journals [Instrument 5]) is
estimated to average 2 hours, including the time for reviewing
instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The OMB number for this
collection is 0970-0612and the expiration date is 09/30/2024. Send
