This information collection is part of
the Assessing and Describing Practice Transitions Among
Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs in Response to the COVID-19
Public Health Emergency Study, which aims to identify and study
practices implemented in response to the COVID-19 public health
emergency that support evidence-based practice and have the
potential to enhance home visiting programming. One of the
practices the study identified is strategies home visitors use to
engage children and promote their active engagement during virtual
visits. The purpose of this information collection is to better
understand, through rapid cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded home
visiting programs can implement virtual strategies improve child
engagement and how home visitors can apply these strategies during
in-person service delivery. Information will be collected in four
phases designed to (1) identify virtual child engagement strategies
(co-definition phase); (2) pilot test and identify refinements to
improve the implementation of strategies (installation phase); (3)
iteratively test the strategies with refinements to their
implementation (refinement phase); and (4) assess the potential of
these child engagement strategies to improve service delivery and
promote family engagement and family satisfaction with home
visiting programs in both virtual and in-person settings (summary
phase). Data collection activities include focus groups, online
questionnaires, and review of documents and administrative
data.
