SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Anchored4Life Evaluability 
Study Interviews; OMB Control Number 0703-AFLT.
    Needs and Uses: DoD Child Youth Programs (CYPs) require the 
Anchored4Life program (A4L) to provide Transition and Resiliency 
training to U.S. Navy (USN), Air Force (USAF), Space Force (USSF), Army 
(USA), and Marine Corps (USMC) school-based elementary, middle and high 
schools, installation CYPs, and Geo-dispersed locations. Service Branch 
CYPs are required by title 10 U.S.C. 1785, ``Youth Sponsorship 
Program,'' and DoD Instruction 6060.04, ``Youth Services (YS) Policy,'' 
to provide School Liaison and Youth Sponsorship programs. Service 
Branches use CYP Education Services (CYES) to execute this requirement 
using School Liaisons (SL), School Based Programs (SBP) and Youth 
Programs (YP). Execution includes providing resiliency and transition 
training and support, as well as system navigation assistance to 
parents of military associated children. A4L is an essential element of 
the military CYPs, PreK-12 System Navigation, and youth sponsorship 
programs and shall be provided at military installations and be 
available to Geo-dispersed locations.
    The USN, USAF, and USSF, through the Trevor Romain Contract HDQMWR-
21-D-003, are requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
clearance for a qualitative study of the A4L program intended to 
support military-connected youth. Military-connected youth face unique 
challenges specific to their association with the military in addition 
to those that are similar to their civilian counterparts. There has 
been little research examining the implementation or effectiveness of 
programs and initiatives specifically available to support military-
connected youth.
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of 
A4L training to support military-connected youth (kindergarten through 
12th grade), to review current research on K-12 military-connected 
youth, and evaluate A4L programming to determine effectiveness of 
transition, deployment support, resiliency impact on other key youth 
issues including bullying prevention and recovery from grief. The long-
term goal is to foster life skills and resiliency in military-connected 
youth, of which about 45% enter Military Service as adults.
    To answer these evaluative questions, semi-structured interview 
questions will address awareness, implementation, impact, barriers, 
improvement, and coordination between stakeholders related to A4L 
impact on military-connected youth who participate.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 232.
    Number of Respondents: 576.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
