Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Performance Measures

The goal of the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) performance measures is to collect performance measures data from SRAE grant recipients on program structure, cost, and support for implementation, including how programs addressed the A–F topics; attendance, reach, and dosage; and program participants’ characteristics, sexual and other risk behaviors prior to program participation, and outcomes at program exit. The performance measures have and will continue to allow both the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program office and grant recipients to monitor and report on progress in implementing SRAE programs and informs technical assistance. ACF is requesting approval for a temporary extension of the existing performance measures (through June 2026), followed by transition to revised measures (from July 2026 onward). The revised measures are designed to (1) address feedback from grant recipients to simplify and clarify participant surveys, (2) align race and ethnicity measures with current OMB guidance, and (3) ensure the measures meet FYSB data needs by removing items related to COVID-19 and others not widely utilized and replacing them with other measures of interest. The proposed changes shorten the data collection instruments and will reduce respondent burden. We expect a 61 percent reduction in the annual burden hours under this request compared to the previously approved annual burden. Current and revised versions of Instruments 1 through 4 are included in this submission. We are also renaming the ICR to Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Performance Measures.

The latest form for Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Performance Measures expires 2029-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202512-0970-004.
