Part B


B1. Objectives

Project Objectives

The purpose of this generic information collection (GenIC) is to inform the program support and technical assistance (TA) for grantees who participated in Tribal Continuous Quality Improvement Collaboratives (Tribal CQICs). This information will be used by contracted TA providers and federal staff to provide TA and training to support grantees in continuing to build capacity for CQI and improve home visiting practice


Generalizability of Results

Results are not intended to be generalizable beyond the group of 19 grantees participating in the Tribal CQICs as part of their grant activities.


Appropriateness of Study Design and Methods for Planned Uses

Collaborative attendees will submit the PDSA Planning Tool on a bi-monthly basis to contracted TA providers. The information will be reviewed to identify immediate TA needs of the participating grantees.


As noted in Supporting Statement A, this information is not intended to be used as the principal basis for public policy decisions and is not expected to meet the threshold of influential or highly influential scientific information.  



B2. Methods and Design

Respondent Population

The target population includes the cohort of 19 Tribal MIECHV grantees who implemented the Tribal CQIC as part of their grant activities. It also includes 4 Tribal MIECHV grantees who received CQI training and ongoing TA in CQI. We anticipate one individual, usually the program coordinator, per grantee site to complete and submit the PDSA Planning Tool. We anticipate all grantees to submit the tool.



B3. Design of Data Collection Instruments

Development of Data Collection Instrument

The instruments for this project were derived from another collaborative improvement project, the Home Visiting Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (HV-CoIIN), a cooperative agreement funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The HV-CoIIN tools were adapted and tailored to fit the Tribal MIECHV grant program structure and the aims of the two collaboratives. This includes the PSDA Planning Tool.






B4. Collection of Data and Quality Control

The Tribal CQICs’ instruments include self-administered Excel templates. These instruments will be distributed to the grantee teams via TA providers from the Tribal Home Visiting Evaluation Institute (TEI). TEI will provide an overview and written guidance on each instrument prior to administration and be available to answer questions as they arise. TEI will offer ongoing technical assistance around grantees’ submissions.



B5. Response Rates and Potential Nonresponse Bias

Site Selection

The information collections are not designed to produce statistically generalizable findings and participation is wholly at the respondent’s discretion. Response rates will not be calculated or reported.



The Tribal MIECHV grantees participated in the Tribal CQICs and completing rapid cycle PDSAs is a required grantee activity. As such we expect a very high participation in the data collection activities. We also expect grantees to be motivated to submit the data they collect in order to receive tailored feedback from TA providers.


NonResponse

As participants will not be randomly sampled and findings are not intended to be representative, non-response bias will not be calculated.



B6. Production of Estimates and Projections

We will not produce estimates for this study, because analyses of the quantitative data will be limited to descriptive statistics.



B7. Data Handling and Analysis

Data Handling

Grantees are in regular communication with the TEI TA provider. Grantees will submit the PDSA Planning Tool by email, as requested. TEI will review the PDSA Planning Tool for completeness and accuracy and provide support to grantees as needed.

Data Analysis

TA providers will review the PDSA Planning Tools to understand the types of changes grantees are testing, ascertain any TA or coaching needs and to provide written feedback on improvement methods.



Data Use

We will not create a public-use file based on the information collected. Information will be used internally to provide TA to grantees.

B8. Contact Person

James Bell Associates (JBA) is conducting this information collection under contract number HHSP233201500133I. JBA developed the plans for data collection in collaboration with ACF. For questions around how data will be collected and analyzed, please contact Julie Morales, [email protected].
