Type of Collection: New.
OMB No. 0990-NEW-Office of Population Affairs—OASH.
Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting 3 years of approval by OMB on a new collection. The Title X Implementation Study will document how organizations funded by the Title X Service Grants program design and implement their program services. The study will document (1) how grantees ensure access to equitable, affordable, client-centered quality family planning services; (2) the steps that Title X grantees take to provide clients from diverse communities with equitable access to affordable, high-quality, client-centered health services; (3) any pivots and/or accommodations to providing care they made in recent years, including during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (4) how they assess their impact. To carry out these objectives, the study team will rely on the following five proposed data sources: (1) A web-based survey of the 2022 cohort of Title X grantees; (2) grantee telephone interviews; (3) in-person or virtual listening visits with clinic administrators, service providers, and community outreach or partner staff at a subset of Title X sub-recipients and service delivery sites; (4) a web-based survey of clients at up to 10 of the sites selected for listening visits; and (5) telephone interviews with subject matter experts. Data collection will begin in fall 2022, pending OMB approval, with the grantee survey and interviews, which will inform selection of sites for the listening visits.
