Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect data for an evaluation of the initiative, Community Collaborations to Strengthen and Preserve Families (also referred to as Child Welfare Community Collaborations [CWCC]). The cross-site process evaluation is designed to provide insights to ACF regarding how CWCC grantees can most effectively implement primary prevention practices to reduce child abuse and neglect, and the factors that can promote or impede cross-agency collaboration. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated disruptions and travel constraints, and in order to learn more about the COVID-19-related challenges grantees are facing and how they are responding to those challenges, we designed an alternative approach to conducting in-person site visits and modified some of the instruments for this first round of data collection. We anticipate the need for the changes for at least as long as the pandemic conditions and constraints persist (that is, continued restrictions on travel, continued disruptions of life and work), but may continue with virtual data collection for future data collection waves. It is possible that we will want to incorporate similar changes to future data collection materials and will submit an additional change request in the future, if necessary. This request includes the following nonsubstantive changes: • The addition of language acknowledging the unforeseen and challenging effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; • A shift from in-person, on-site interviews to virtual, telephone interviews; and • The addition of COVID-19-related probes to interview questions about both challenges and strategies.
