SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes qualitative data collection as 
part of the Success Sequence Interviews study. The goal of this project 
is to understand complex decisions and circumstances of youth 
transitions to adulthood and explore the complexities around achieving 
the success sequence milestones of high school graduation, full-time 
employment, getting married, and having children. The data collected 
from the interviews will help ACF and the broader research field 
understand adults' perspectives and experiences related to the 
milestones, and will provide ACF's Family and Youth Services Bureau's 
Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant program with greater insight into 
the program content and strategies related to the success sequence 
milestones and their ordering that could best resonate with youth. To 
support these efforts, we seek approval from the Office of Management 
and Budget to collect qualitative interview data from adults ages 30-
35, recruiting from online research panels with participants across all 
U.S. regions. We propose the following data collection instruments:
    (1) Success Sequence Screener: The screener will be administered by 
telephone. Information collected through the screener will be used to 
screen interview respondents into the study based on respondent 
demographics, household income, geographic location, and life 
milestones.
    (2) Success Sequence Interview Protocol: We will administer an 
asynchronous interview with adults ages 30-35. Information collected 
through the interview protocol includes respondent life history focused 
on education, employment and work experience, family life, and 
financial status.
    Respondents: A total of 225 interview respondents will be recruited 
from existing large national online panels of research participants.
