Information on Document

    Title: Evaluation of the Emergency Child Abuse and Neglect 
Prevention Services Demonstration.
    OMB No.: New Request.
    Description: The Emergency Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention 
Services Demonstration projects, funded by the National Center on Child 
Abuse and Neglect of the Administration for Children and Families 
(ACF), were designed to address services to families experiencing the 
coexisting problems of substance abuse and child maltreatment.
    The national evaluation is comprised of two primary components--the 
Site Visit Interview Component and the Document Review Component. The 
site visit data, in conjunction with information obtained from reviews 
of program reports and third-party evaluation documents (obtained from 
the Document Review component) will be used to assess the extent to 
which demonstration programs have met the goals of (1) developing 
emergency service delivery models to provide crisis intervention for 
children and adolescents at risk for maltreatment from substance-
abusing family members; and (2) removing barriers to treatment for 
substance-abusing parents or family members in order to prevent 
maltreatment of children in these at-risk households. The Site Visit 
Interview Component will be conducted through visits to 49 projects and 
interviews with key members at the project site. The information 
obtained by the Site Visit Interview Component will be used by NCCAN in 
decision-making regarding policy and programs pertaining to services to 
children and families experiencing the coexisting problems of substance 
abuse and child maltreatment. The information also will provide the 
fields of substance abuse and child abuse prevention and intervention 
with new models for working together and for serving families from a 
holistic perspective.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 188.
    Frequency: 1.
    Average Burden Hours Per Response: 2.02.
    Total Burden Hours: 379.75.
