Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online 
Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) and the 
National Dating Abuse Helpline or loveisrespect (NDAH/LIR), which are 
supported by the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act Program 
(FVPSA Program) within the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of 
the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS), serve as partners in the intervention, 
prevention, and resource assistance efforts of the network of family 
violence, domestic violence, and dating violence service providers.
    In order to describe the activities and accomplishments of the NDVH 
and NDAH/LIR and develop potential new or revised performance measures, 
the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) and FYSB's FVPSA 
Program, within ACF/HHS are proposing data collection activity as part 
of the Accomplishments of the Domestic Violence Hotline, Online 
Connections and Text (ADVHOCaT) Study.
    This study will primarily analyze data previously collected by the 
NDVH and NDAH/LIR as part of their ongoing program activities and 
monitoring. ACF proposes to collect additional information, including 
information about the preferred mode (phone, chat, text), ease of use, 
and perceived privacy and safety of each mode of contact.
    This data is to be collected through voluntary web-based surveys 
that are to be completed by those who access the NDVH and NDAH/LIR Web 
sites. This information will be critical to informing future efforts to 
monitor and improve the performance of domestic violence hotlines and 
provide hotline services.
    Respondents: Individuals who access the NDVH and NDAH/LIR Web 
sites.
