Proposed Projects
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 largescale, 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 of 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 an 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 subgroups, addressing a key
study question of who benefits most
from this type of marriage education
service.
Respondents: Low-income married
couples.
