Proposed Project: Healthy Start Participant Survey (NEW)

    The Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and 
Child Health Bureau (MCHB) initiated the Healthy Start program in 1991 
in response to concerns about high infant mortality rates. This project 
is a part of an evaluation that includes a survey of Healthy Start 
Program participants and is designed to collect information that will 
be useful in assessing the implementation of Healthy Start and the 
program impact from a client perspective. Specifically, the goals of 
the survey are to: Describe the participant population, assess the 
services they received during the prenatal and early postpartum 
periods, describe their experiences and satisfaction with the health 
system and services, and examine their health behaviors.
    The survey will be administered to participants at eight grantee 
sites. The survey will utilize computer assisted telephone interviewing 
(CATI) with in-person field follow up if the telephone attempts are 
unsuccessful. Data gathered from the survey will be used to provide 
HRSA with information necessary to assess the grantees' achievement of 
MCHB's goal to improve perinatal outcomes among racial and ethnic 
minorities.
    The estimated burden on respondents is as follows:
