Focus group discussions will provide insights into participants’ perspectives on marriage education and their experiences with the CHMI interventions. In addition to the implementation information collected under this request, an impact evaluation will be integrated with the implementation study and will assess the effects of healthy marriage initiatives by comparing family and child well-being outcomes in the CHMI communities with similar outcomes in comparison communities that are well-matched to the project sites. Data from the implementation studies will provide the basis for the instrumental variable models of CHMI impacts to help determine direct or indirect exposure to marriage-related services. Baseline data collected under the impact evaluation has been approved by OMB (i.e., Control No. 0970–0322). Respondents: Lead Project Staff; Service Provider Organization Staff; Key Community, Civic Stakeholders; and Program Participants.
