Information Collection Request Title: Office on Women's Health: IPV 
Provider Network Cross-Site Evaluation

    Abstract: The Affordable Care Act (PHS 2713) requires health 
insurance plans to cover preventive care and screening for women as 
defined by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 
Women's Preventive Services Guidelines, including screening and 
counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence. In addition, the 
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a recommendation for IPV 
(interpersonal violence) screening in clinical settings. As part of the 
administration's efforts to create a health system that better 
addresses the needs of IPV victims, the Office on Women's Health (OWH) 
at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has established the 
IPV Provider Network program. The program requires partnerships between 
health care providers and IPV service programs to evaluate systems for 
integrating IPV interventions into basic clinical care. Each of the 
five selected OWH grantees is required to establish Memoranda of 
Understanding with 5 to 10 partners that provide services (e.g., legal, 
housing, substance use, mental health) to clients referred by the 
grantee health providers. The overall goal of the IPV Provider Network 
project is to understand and assess the strategies implemented by the 
five different IPV Provider Network programs designed to improve care 
coordination for IPV screening/referred patients. OWH will use program 
assessment findings to support future work with federal and state 
partners to disseminate the evidence-based strategies that are created. 
The purpose of this data collection is to gather data from the 
grantees' service provider partners to answer the research question: 
What feedback is available from the service partners to refine the IPV 
referral and follow-up processes? OWH contractor NORC at the University 
of Chicago will collect and analyze two sources of primary data. The 
first data source will be a brief online survey administered to a 
single representative of each of the partners, assessing (a) the 
partnership with the respective OWH grantee's health care provider and 
(b) the services that partner provides to the women referred by the 
health care provider. The second data source is a key informant 
interview with a single representative of each partner, providing a 
mechanism for the key informant to elaborate on their agency's survey 
response data. Direct contact with the partners is necessary to 
understand the nature of each grantee's provider network partnerships, 
including what works and what does not work.
    Likely Respondents: Medical and Health Services Managers.
