Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of the Head Start Oral Health Initiative.
OMB No: New Collection.
Description: The purpose of this evaluation is to examine the
implementation of the Head Start Oral Health Initiative (OHI). The
Office of Head Start has funded 52 programs for OHI to improve the
oral-health services to young children, from birth to five, and
pregnant women. The funded programs will develop, implement, and
disseminate culturally sensitive, innovative, and empirically based
best practices for oral health in Head Start. The evaluation will
examine information on approaches taken by the 52 individual programs
and the implementation of the approaches, including challenges faced,
as well as facilitating factors, and create a uniform method for
collecting administrative information across all sites.
Respondents: Head Start directors, staff, and teachers who are
implementing OHI; community organizations that have partnered with Head
Start programs implementing OHI; and parents or guardians of children
who attend Head Start programs where OHI is being implemented.
