interventions on marital stability and
satisfaction and child and family wellbeing outcomes among low-income
families. Primary data for the impact
evaluation will come from three waves
of in-person data collection. This
collection is a baseline survey of
community members where CHMI
demonstrations are operating, the first of
three CHMI surveys. The impact
evaluation will assess the effects of
community healthy marriage initiatives
by comparing family and child wellbeing outcomes in the CHMI
communities with similar outcomes in
comparison communities that are well
matched to the demonstration project
sites.
Respondents: Community members
aged 18–49 in three study sites and
three comparison communities.

Title: Third Grade Follow-up to the
Head Start Impact Study.
OMB No.: 0970–0229.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting comments
on plans to implement a third grade
follow-up to the Head Start Impact
Study. This study will collect
information for determining, on a
national basis, how Head Start affects
outcomes in the third grade for children
who participated in the program as
compared to children not enrolled in
Head Start and to determine under
which conditions Head Start works best
and for which children.
The Head Start Impact Study was a
longitudinal study that involved
approximately 5,000 first-time-enrolled
three- and four-year-old pre school
children across 84 nationally
representative grantee/delegate agencies
(in communities where there were more
eligible children and families than can
be served by the program). The
participating children were randomly
assigned to either a Head Start group
(that could enroll in Head Start services)
or a control group (that could not enroll
in Head Start services but could enroll
in other available services selected by
their parents). Data collection for the
study began in the fall of 2002 and
extended through spring 2006.
It is the intention of the
Administration for Children and
Families to examine outcomes for this
sample of children and families during
the spring of the children’s third grade
year. Data will be collected in the spring
of 2007 (for the four-year-old cohort)
and the spring of 2008 (for the threeyear-old cohort). The domains for
development to be assessed include
demographic characteristics of the
children and families, as well as
children’s cognitive development,
school achievement and adjustment,
socio-emotional functioning, health and
access to health care, and relationships
with peers. Information will also be
collected on parents’ involvement in
educational activities, mental health
and well-being, and monitoring and
other parenting practices, and
information related to the characteristics
and quality of the schools and
classrooms that children attend.
Respondents: Individuals or
households and school districts.
