Title: Relationship Quality Instrument
for Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments of 2001
(Pub. L. 107–133) amended Title IV–B
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) to provide funding for
nonprofit agencies that recruit, screen,
train, and support mentors for children
with an incarcerated parent or parents.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau
(FYSB) of the Administration for
Children and Families, United States
Department of Health and Human
Services, administers the Monitoring
Children of Prisoners (MCP) program.
The MCP program creates lasting, highquality one-to-one mentoring
relationships that provide young people
with caring adult role models. The
quality of these relationships is an
important indicator of success in
mentoring programs. Previous research
has shown an association between highquality mentoring relationships and
positive changes in youth behavior
associated with positive youth benefits,
such as improved school attendance,
reductions in risk behavior, and other
benefits.
The Relationship Quality Instrument
consists of 15 rigorously field-tested
questions 1 about the relationship, plus
several questions that establish context
(age, gender, duration of relationship
and frequency of contacts, etc.). The
answers to the questions help assess
how satisfied the youth (mentee) is with
the relationship; whether the mentee is
happy in the relationship; whether the
mentee trusts the mentor; and whether
the mentor has helped the mentee to
cope with problems. Researchers in the
field of mentoring have tested and
validated the questions.
FYSB requires grantees receiving
funding to provide information that can
be used to evaluate outcomes for
participating children. FYSB will use
the information provided by the
instrument to assure effective service
delivery and program management and
to guide the development of national
monitoring and technical assistance
systems. Finally, FYSB will use data
from this collection for reporting
program outcomes to Congress in the FY
2006 Performance Report during the
budget process and as the basis for
outcome evaluation of the program over
the long term.
Respondents: Public, community- and
faith-based organizations receiving
funding to implement the MCP program.
