                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.
