Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE): Kindergarten Follow-Up (MIHOPE-K)

This nonsubstantive change request includes changes related to the semi-structured caregiver interviews as well as the data collection being conducted with families when their children are entering kindergarten. The first set of requested changes is related to the semi-structured caregiver interviews being conducted with the families on the younger end of the MIHOPE sample who are currently approximately 4 years old. After conducting the first set of semi-structured interviews with the MIHOPE families and learning more about how the questions are working, we have proposed minor changes to the protocol. These changes involve some streamlining to address redundancy, re-ordering of items so that the interview flows better, additional examples for interviewers to share with families to help explain the purpose of the questions, and more specific instructions to interviewers. These proposed changes do not impact burden estimates. Changes have been incorporated into Attachment 3. The second set of requested changes are related to the data collection being conducted with families when their children are entering kindergarten. We have completed data collection with the first set of MIHOPE families whose children are in kindergarten. Based on that data collection, we are proposing some minor changes to the following elements of our data collection: • direct assessments of children • direct assessments of caregivers • videotaped caregiver-child interaction • structured interview with caregivers • caregiver contact materials • teacher contact materials • parent website The details about these requested changes are specified below in the attached justification memo and have been incorporated into Attachments 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 12, as well as Supporting Statement A and B as appropriate.
