Proposed Project:
Title: Building Strong Families (BSF)
Demonstration and Evaluation—Impact
Study Second Follow-up
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Building Strong Families (BSF)
Demonstration and Evaluation. The
proposed collection will consist of two
elements: (1) A telephone survey to be
administered to both partners in couples
enrolled in the BSF research sample
about 36 months after enrollment, and
(2) observational assessments of BSF
families and their children.
These data collections are part of the
BSF evaluation, which is an important
opportunity to learn if well-designed
interventions can help low-income
couples develop the knowledge and
relationship skills that research has
shown are associated with healthy
marriages. BSF programs provide
instruction and support to improve
marriage and relationship skills and
enhance couples’ understanding of
marriage. In addition, BSF programs
provide links to a variety of other
services that could help couples sustain
a healthy relationship (e.g., employment
assistance). The BSF evaluation uses an
experimental design that randomly
assigns couples who volunteer to
participate in BSF programs to a
program or to a control group.
The 36-month data collection effort
draws heavily from the 15-month survey
conducted in BSF sites. Materials for the
15-month data collection effort were
previously submitted to OMB and were
approved under OMB Control No. 0970–
0304.
Respondents: The respondents for the
telephone questionnaire will be all
couples in the BSF evaluation. The
respondents for the observational
assessments will be a sub-sample of
children of the couples.
