BILLING CODE 4120-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request *Title:* Preventing and Addressing Intimate Violence When Engaging Dads. *OMB No.:* New Collection. *Description:* The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE)proposes to collect information as part of the Preventing and Addressing Intimate Violence when Engaging Dads (PAIVED) study. Since 2006, the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood
(HMRF)initiative has funded programs that play a key role in helping the Office of Family Assistance
(OFA)achieve its goals to foster economically secure households and communities for the well-being and long-term success of children and families. The purpose of the PAIVED study is to better understand the prevalence of intimate partner violence
(IPV)experienced by the population of fathers served by Responsible Fatherhood
(RF)programs, and the services that federally- and non-federally funded RF programs are providing to address and contribute to the prevention of IPV among its participants. The proposed data collection will include whether IPV content is included in RF programs, the types of activities they are using to address IPV, and related successes and challenges. Other collected data will include barriers to addressing IPV in RF programs, the relevance of addressing IPV with fathers, fathers' reactions to this programming, and what types of partnerships RF programs have with other agencies to address IPV. This information will be collected through interviews conducted over the phone and in-person with RF program staff and community partners. This information will be critical to inform future efforts to address and contribute to the prevention of IPV through RF programming. *Respondents:* Responsible Fatherhood program staff ( *e.g.,* program directors and facilitators) and community partners.
