Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage
(SHM) Demonstration and Evaluation
Project: 12-month Follow-up and
Implementation Research Data
Collection.
OMB No.: New Collection.
The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, is
conducting a demonstration and
evaluation called the Supporting
Healthy Marriage (SHM) project. SHM is
a test of marriage education
demonstration programs in eight
separate locations that will aim to enroll
up to 1,000 couples per location, up to
500 couples participating in SHM
programs and 500 control group
couples.
SHM is designed to inform program
operators and policymakers of the most
effective ways to help low-income
married couples strengthen and
maintain healthy marriages. In
particular, the project will measure the
effectiveness of marriage education
programs by randomly assigning eligible
volunteer couples to SHM program
groups and control groups.
This data collection request includes
three components. First, a survey will
be administered to couples 12 months
after they are enrolled in the program.
The survey is designed to assess the
effects of the SHM program on marital
status and stability, quality of
relationship with spouse, marital
expectations and ideals, marital
satisfaction, participation in services,
parenting outcomes, child outcomes,
parental well-being, employment,
income, material hardship, and social
support characteristics of study
participants assigned to both the
program and control groups. Second,
survey data will be complemented by
videotaped observations of couple, coparenting, and parent-child interactions
with a subset of intact and separated
couples at the 12-month follow-up.
Third, qualitative data will be collected
through a process and implementation
study in each of the eight SHM
demonstration programs across the
country.
These data will complement the
information gathered by the SHM
baseline data collection (OMB Control
No. 0970–0299). The information
collected at the 12-month follow-up will
allow the research team to examine the
effects of SHM services on outcomes of
interest and to identify mechanisms that
might account for these effects. The
process and implementation research
will consist of a qualitative component
that will help ACF to better understand
the results from the impact analysis as
well as how to replicate programs that
prove to be successful.
Respondents: Low-income married
couples with children.
