Request: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) MCHB requests approval for changes to the Assessing the Use of Informal Contacts to Promote Caregivers’ Engagement and Satisfaction with Early Childhood Home Visiting Through Rapid Cycle Learning (OMB 0906-0098 expiration date 06/30/2027).

Purpose: The purpose of this request is to correct the phone number for the Health Media Lab Institutional Review Board (IRB), which is listed at the bottom of each instrument associated with this study. Updating this number ensures study participants can contact the Health Media Lab IRB if they have questions about their rights as a research volunteer.

This memo explains the changes and supporting rationale.

Changes: Table A lists the instruments that were changed, a description of the change, and the rationale for the change. Also included are copies of the data collection instrument with changes tracked, for reference.

All instruments have been updated to include the corrected phone number for the Health Media Lab Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the bottom of the document. There has been no change to the content of the instruments. The edit is to address a change in the contact information for the Health Media Lab IRB, which is the IRB that reviewed the study materials.

Time Sensitivity: The update to the phone number must be completed as soon as possible to ensure that survey and focus group data collection will not experience significant delay. Approval of these changes is needed, at latest, by August 9, 2024, to prepare for timely data collection.

Burden: The change reflects no change to the estimated reporting burden.
