Title: Evaluation of the Community
Healthy Marriage Initiative
Implementation Study.
OMB No.: 0970–0283.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is conducting a
demonstration and evaluation called the
Community Healthy Marriage Initiative
(CHMI).
Demonstration programs have been
funded through Child Support
Enforcement waivers authorized under
section 1115 of the Social Security Act
to support healthy marriage, improve
child well-being and increase the
financial security of children. The
objective of the evaluation is to: (1)
Assess the implementation of
community interventions designed to
provide marriage education by
examining the way the projects operate
and by examining child support
outcomes among low-income families in
the community; and (2) evaluate the
community impacts of these
interventions on marital stability and
satisfaction, child well-being and child

support outcomes among low-income
families.
The purpose of this information
collection is to continue to collect
implementation data under the
protocols previously approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), OMB Approval No. 0970–0283.
Primary data for the implementation
evaluation will come from observations,
interviews, focus groups and records.
One-on-one and small group interviews
with project staff and marriage
education service providers in the
community will provide a detailed
understanding of the administration and
operation of the demonstrations. 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 (See OMB
Approval No. 0970–0322).
Respondents: Lead Project Staff,
Service Provider Organization Staff, Key
Community, Civic Stakeholders, and
Program Participants.
