Summary
The government wants to quickly collect info from programs teaching kids to avoid risky sexual behavior. This new approval helps them study what works best without long delays, so they can improve these programs for youth. It affects SRAE grant recipients and aims to boost program success with fresh, timely data—no extra costs or wait times expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Generic clearance for SRAE data
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requested an overarching generic Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance to collect data from programs delivered by Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grant recipients. The generic clearance lets ACF quickly gather information that would otherwise be slowed by the timelines in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. SRAE grant recipients will be the source of those data collections for the SRAE National Evaluation.
Faster research to improve youth SRAE programs
ACF will use the data collected under this generic clearance to build evidence about what innovations and program components work to improve Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) programming and outcomes. The collections may focus on innovative strategies and specific youth subpopulations served by grant recipients, so programs for children and teens could be changed based on fresh, timely data.
