Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage
Project Baseline Data Collection
Extension.
OMB No.: 0970–0299.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
conducting an evaluation study titled
Supporting Healthy Marriage (SHM).
This is a large-scale, multi-site, rigorous
test of marriage and relationship skills
education programs for low-income
married couples. The baseline
information collection for the study was
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB Number
0970–0299) and expires on May 31,
2009. The purpose of this notice is to
inform the public of ACF’s intent to
request an extension of this clearance
prior to its expiration.
The SHM project is founded on
research that indicates that both adults
in healthy marriages and their children
do better on a host of outcomes. The
evaluation study will determine the
interim and long-term effectiveness of
eight local programs by comparing
outcomes on a range of measures for
couples and children in the program
group to a comparable group of couples
randomly assigned to a control group.
Baseline information is collected from
couples at the time they volunteer to
participate in a SHM program. The
baseline data collection provides
information about the characteristics of
the husband and wife and information
about their attitudes and beliefs about
their relationship at study entry. This
information will be used to inform the
public, program operators and
policymakers about the characteristics
of married couples who volunteer for
marriage education programs, and,
among other uses, it will be used to
define and conduct analyses of key sub
groups, addressing a key study question
of who benefits most from this type of
marriage education service.
Respondents: Low-income married
couples.

Health Study (HCHS)/Study of Latinos
(SOL)
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. Proposed
Collection: Title: Hispanic Community
Health Study (HCHS)/Study of Latinos
(SOL). Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision. OMB# 0925–0584,
exp. 2/28/2011. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The Hispanic
Community Health Study (HCHS)/Study
of Latinos (SOL) will identify risk
factors for cardiovascular and lung
disease in Hispanic populations and
determine the role of acculturation in
the prevalence and development of
these diseases. Hispanics, now the
largest minority population in the US,
are influenced by factors associated
with immigration from different cultural
settings and environments, including
changes in diet, activity, community
support, working conditions, and health
care access. This project is a
multicenter, six-and-a-half year
epidemiologic study and will recruit
16,000 Hispanic men and women aged
18–74 in four community-based cohorts
in Chicago, Miami, San Diego, and the
Bronx. The study will also examine
measures of obesity, physical activity,
nutritional habits, diabetes, lung and
sleep function, cognitive function,
hearing, and dental conditions. Closely
integrated with the research component
will be a community and professional
education component, with the goals of
bringing the research results back to the
community, improving recognition and
control of risk factors, and attracting and
training Hispanic researchers in
epidemiology and population-based
research. Frequency of Response: The
participants will be contacted annually.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other for
profit; Small businesses or
organizations. Type of Respondents:
Individuals or households; physicians.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 30,320; Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 2.238;
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
0.7161; and Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours Requested: 48,583. The
annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at $753,285, assuming
respondents time at the rate of $15 per
hour and physician time at the rate of
$55 per hour. There are no Capital Costs
to report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.
