Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail 
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 
443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:
    Proposed Project Title: Interim Evaluation of the Bright Futures 
for Women's Health and Wellness (BFWHW) Initiative, Emotional Wellness 
Consumer Tools--NEW.
    Purpose: The purpose of this project is to design and implement a 
three-year interim evaluation to address initial outcomes for the BFWHW 
emotional wellness tools targeted to consumers. The project is funded 
by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of 
Women's Health (OWH). The evaluation will seek to determine (1) the 
acceptability of the tools by the target audiences, (2) strategies for 
ensuring their ongoing use, and (3) the outcomes associated with the 
use of these tools in three to four selected primary care sites.
    The evaluation team will work with HRSA OWH and an Expert Committee 
to identify the questions of interest for the evaluation plan and 
methodology. There will be two major components--a descriptive/process 
component focusing on the design and implementation of the program's 
intervention and an impact component focusing on the preliminary 
outcomes of the intervention on the target audiences and their 
behavioral intentions.
