Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Project:
Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage
(SHM) Demonstration and Evaluation
Project—Wave 2 Survey.
OMB No. 0970–0339.
The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, is
conducting a demonstration and
evaluation called the Supporting
Healthy Marriage (SHM) Project. SHM is
a test of marriage education
demonstration programs in eight sites
that will enroll about 800 couples per
site, with half assigned to participate in
the SHM program, and the other half
assigned to the control group.
SHM is designed to inform program
operators and policymakers of the
effectiveness of programs designed to
help low-income married couples
strengthen and maintain healthy
marriages and improve outcomes for
adults and children.
This notice of information collection
is for a second adult survey instrument
and new instruments to obtain
information from children and youth
about 30 months after study entry and
for an extension of the period of
approval for the first survey and
observation instruments, which are used
to obtain information from research
participants about 12 months after study
entry.
The proposed second wave of
information collection will involve:
• An adult survey instrument to
assess study participants’ longer term
marital status and stability, quality of
relationships, and a range of other
measures.
• A survey of focal children of study
participants in both the program and
control groups who are over 8 years of
age (the youth survey).
• A direct child assessment of focal
children of study participants in both
the program and the control groups who
are 8 years of age or younger.
Respondents: Low-income married
couples and their children in the SHM
evaluation research sample.
