Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage
Project Focus Group.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is conducting a
demonstration and evaluation called the
Supporting Health Marriage (SHM)
Project. The project is a large-scale,
multi-site, multi-year, rigorous test of
marriage education programs for
interested low-income married couples
and is based on a substantial body of
research that has shown a relationship
between healthy marriages and a variety
of positive child and family outcomes.
The SHM Project is designed to inform
program operators and policymakers of
the most effective ways to help couples
who voluntarily choose to participate in
demonstrations designed to strengthen
and maintain healthy marriages. The
focus groups will provide key
information about the perspectives of
low-to-moderate-income couples
regarding marriage, relationships, and
marriage education programs; assist
ACF and program managers in
designing responsive healthy marriage
programs; and will help to ensure that
the project is testing the strongest
possible program models for its target
populations.
Respondents: The respondents will be
selected to represent low-to-moderate
income couples in each of the following
categories, whose views can help us to
design effective SHM programs: Married
couples and those planning to marry,
couples with and without children, and
couples who have had experience with
marriage education programs as well as
those who have not. There will also be
an effort to include African American
and Hispanic couples. Focus groups
may be divided into separate
discussions for those who are married
and for those who are planning to
marry. They may also be further
separated into discussions for couples,
for men only, and for women only.
Each focus group will have
approximately 10 respondents for a total
of 180 respondents over 2 years.
