Proposed Projects 

Title: ACF/HHS Supporting Healthy 

Marriage (SHM) Evaluation Focus 

Groups. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

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 

Supporting Healthy Marriage (SHM) 

Project. The project is a large-scale, 

multi-site, multi-year, rigorous test of 

marriage education programs for 

interested low-income married couples, 

and is based on a substantial body of 

research that has shown a relationship 

between healthy marriages and a variety 

of positive child and family outcomes. 

The SHM Project is designed to inform 

program operators and policymakers of 

the most effective ways to help couples 

who voluntarily choose to participate in 

demonstrations designed to strengthen 

and maintain healthy marriages. The 

focus groups will provide key 

information about the perspectives of 

low-to-moderate-income couples 

regarding marriage, relationships, and 

marriage education programs; assist 

ACF and program managers in 

designing responsive healthy marriage 

programs; and will help to ensure that 

the project is testing the strongest 

possible program models for its target 

populations. 

Respondents: The respondents will be 

selected to represent low-to-moderate 

income couples in each of the following 

categories, whose views can help us to 

design effective SHM programs: Married 

couples and those planning to marry, 

couples with and without children, and 

couples who have had experience with 

marriage education programs as well as 

those who have not. There will also be 

an effort to include African American 

and Hispanic couples. Focus groups 

will be divided into separate 

discussions for those who are married 

and for those who are planning to 

marry. Each of these focus groups will 

be further separated into discussions for 

couples, for men only, and for women 

only. Each focus group will have 

approximately 10 respondents for a total 

of 180 respondents over 2 years 

(approximately 12 focus groups will 

take place in the first year and 6 focus 

groups in the second). Total burden 

hours are listed in the table that follows.
