Title: Healthy Marriage and
Responsible Fatherhood performance
measures and additional data collection
(part of the Fatherhood and Marriage
Local Evaluation and Cross-Site (FaMLE
Cross-Site) Project)—Extension.
OMB No.: 0970–0460.
Description
Background
For decades various organizations and
agencies have been developing and
operating programs to strengthen
families through healthy marriage and
relationship education and responsible
fatherhood programming. The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), Office of Family
Assistance (OFA), has had
administrative responsibility for federal
funding of such programs since 2006
through the Healthy Marriage (HM) and
Responsible Fatherhood (RF) Grant
Programs. The authorizing legislation
for the programs may be found in
Section 403(a)(2) of the Social Security
Act [1].
Extension of Current Approval
The Offices of Family Assistance
(OFA) and Planning, Research and
Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) are
proposing to extend performance
measure and other data collection
activities, in service to the HM and RF
programs. This data collection is part of
the Fatherhood and Marriage Local
Evaluation and Cross-Site (FaMLE
Cross-Site) project, whose purpose is to
support high quality data collection,
strengthen local evaluations, and
conduct cross-site analysis for the
Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy
Marriage grantees.
ACF is requesting comment on the
following data collection, which has
been ongoing under OMB #0970–0460
since 2016. There are no changes
proposed to the information collection,
we are only requesting an extension to
continue data collection with the
current grantees for another three years.
Performance measures. ACF is
proposing to extend collection of a set
of performance measures that are
collected by all grantees. These
measures collect standardized
information in the following areas:
• Applicant characteristics;
• Program operations (including
program characteristics and service
delivery); and
• Participant outcomes:
Æ Entrance survey, with four
versions: (1)Healthy Marriage Program
Pre-Program Survey for Adult-Focused
Programs; (2) Healthy Marriage Program
Pre-Program Survey for Youth-Focused
Programs; (3) Responsible Fatherhood
Program Pre-Program Survey for
Community-Based-Fathers; and
(4)Responsible Fatherhood Program PreProgram Survey for Incarcerated
Fathers.
Æ Exit survey, with four versions: (1)
Healthy Marriage Program Post-Program
Survey for Adult-Focused Programs; (2)
Healthy Marriage Program Post-Program
Survey for Youth-Focused Programs; (3)
Responsible Fatherhood Program PostProgram Survey for Community-BasedFathers; and (4) Responsible Fatherhood
Program Post-Program Survey for
Incarcerated Fathers.
These measures were developed per
extensive review of the research
literature and grantees’ past measures.
Grantees are required to submit data
on these standardized measures on a
regular basis (e.g., quarterly). In addition
to the performance measures mention
above, ACF proposes to extend
collection for these data submissions:
• Semi-annual Performance Progress
Report (PPR), with two versions: (1)
Performance Progress Report for Healthy
Marriage Programs, and (2) Performance
Progress Report for Responsible
Fatherhood Programs; and
• Quarterly Performance Report
(QPR), with two versions: (1) Quarterly
Performance Progress Report for Healthy
Marriage Programs, and (2)Quarterly
Performance Progress Report for
Responsible Fatherhood Programs.
A management information system
has been implemented which improves
efficiency and the quality of data, and
makes reporting easier.
Additional data collection. We also
seek to extend the approval to collect
information from a sub-set of grantees
on how they designed and implemented
their programs (information on
outcomes associated with programs will
also be assessed), per the following
protocols:
• Staff interview protocol on program
design (will be collected from about half
of all grantees);
• Staff interview protocols on
program implementation (will be
collected from about 20 grantees); and
• Program participant focus group
protocol (will be conducted with about
20 grantees).
Respondents: Responsible Fatherhood
and Healthy Marriage Program grantees
(e.g., grantee staff) and program
applicants and participants—
participants are called ‘‘clients.’’
