TOPIC GUIDE FOR Hispanic study site visit interviews
The Parents and Children Together implementation study will include a multi-day site visit to each participating Hispanic RF program. Administrative and supervisory personnel and staff who have direct interaction with participants will be interviewed. Interviews will be either one-on-one or small group, depending on staffing structure, roles, and the number of individuals in a role.
Introductory script:
Purpose and use of information: A key objective of the PACT Evaluation is to learn about the operations of fatherhood programs awarded grants from the Office of Family Assistance within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The purpose is to provide information to practitioners and policymakers within multiple levels of government as well as in other sectors. As part of this evaluation, we are seeking to learn what makes this a program for Hispanic fathers (as distinct from programs for fathers from other cultural backgrounds). The information collected will be used to document the how programs such as yours are designed and operated.
Authority of collection: Mathematica Policy Research is conducting the PACT Evaluation on behalf of ACF. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it has a current valid OMB control number. The number for this study is 0970-0403. If you have any questions, please contact [CONTACT NAME], at xxx-xxx-xxxx, regarding OMB-PRA (0970-0403).
Privacy: The information you provide will be discussed among the evaluation team and federal staff at ACF. Information describing the program information may be included in reports. However, individuals’ identifying information will be kept private and not shared publicly.
Voluntary Participation: Providing information for the purposes described is voluntary and you may choose not to answer any question.
Estimated time: This discussion is expected to take about an hour and half.
