According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0531; this number is valid through 9/30/2025.  Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4 hours, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, reviewing the collection of information, and revising it. This collection of information is voluntary for individuals, but the information is required from HMRE Award Recipients.

Note: We use the word “clients” in this table for simplicity. These research questions should be adapted by replacing the term “clients” and specifying “intervention group members” and “control or comparison group members” to address the research questions posed in Table 1, separately by group.

C. Analysis approach

This section lays out plans for constructing measures to address the implementation study research questions.

Note: Please adapt the questions to measure the intervention services received by the intervention group and alternative services and services similar to the intervention received by the control or comparison group during the evaluation period (enrollment through the final follow-up interview), based on the data you have collected through surveys and nFORM.
