Description:
In 2008, the Children's Bureau (CB) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services funded 17 cooperative agreements to support the infrastructure needed for the high-quality implementation of existing evidence-based home visiting (EBHV) programs to prevent child maltreatment. CB/ACF funded Mathematica Policy Research and Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago to conduct a participatory- and utilization-focused cross-site evaluation of the grantees' EBHV programs. The primary purpose of the cross-site evaluation is to identify successful strategies for adopting, implementing, and sustaining high-quality home visiting programs to prevent child maltreatment. The design for the EBHV cross-site evaluation is described in a design report published in 2009 (Koball et. al). This document is a companion piece to that design report. It provides data collection instruments used in the evaluation during 2010 and 2011. Protocols for site visits conducted in 2010 are in Section I. Instruments used to collect data on system change and infrastructure building appear in Section II. Section III contains instruments developed to collect data on model fidelity. The time use survey administered as part of the cost study is in Section IV. Finally, Section V contains protocols for site visits conducted in 2012. (author abstract)
