    Abstract: This survey is being conducted as a part of an evaluation 
of OJJDPs JJRRI Demonstration Program. In 2012, OJJDP commissioned a 
36-month evaluation of the Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment 
Initiative (JJRRI) Demonstration Program. The JJRRI Demonstration 
Program provides funds to three states and/or local administering 
agencies for juvenile justice to develop and implement an integrated 
set of evidence-based and cost-measurement tools that will enable them 
to make informed decisions about resources and services for juvenile-
justice involved youth.
    The Urban Institute (UI) is conducting a comprehensive evaluation 
of JJRRI to determine whether the initiative has had the intended 
effect of improving program- and cost-effectiveness. As part of this 
evaluation, UI will conduct two web-based surveys with key stakeholders 
at each site to measure changes in attitudes towards evidence-based 
practices as a result of the JJRRI Demonstration Program.
    The main objective of this web-based survey is to measure juvenile 
justice stakeholder--agency leadership and staff--support for use and 
knowledge of Evidence-Based Practice's in the three sites selected to 
be JJRRI Demonstration Programs. Two surveys will be conducted by UI to 
measure stakeholder

support and knowledge of evidence-based practices. The first survey 
will assess baseline attitudes of EBPs. The second survey will measure 
the extent to which context and attitudes change through the 
initiative.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is 
estimated that 480 respondents will complete a 20 minute questionnaire.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Approximately 160 hours.
