interventions on marital stability and 

satisfaction and child and family wellbeing outcomes among low-income 

families. Primary data for the impact 

evaluation will come from three waves 

of in-person data collection. This 

collection is a baseline survey of 

community members where CHMI 

demonstrations are operating, the first of 

three CHMI surveys. The impact 

evaluation will assess the effects of 

community healthy marriage initiatives 

by comparing family and child wellbeing outcomes in the CHMI 

communities with similar outcomes in 

comparison communities that are well 

matched to the demonstration project 

sites. 

Respondents: Community members 

aged 18–49 in three study sites and 

three comparison communities.

Title: Third Grade Follow-up to the 

Head Start Impact Study. 

OMB No.: 0970–0229. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) within the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) is requesting comments 

on plans to implement a third grade 

follow-up to the Head Start Impact 

Study. This study will collect 

information for determining, on a 

national basis, how Head Start affects 

outcomes in the third grade for children 

who participated in the program as 

compared to children not enrolled in 

Head Start and to determine under 

which conditions Head Start works best 

and for which children. 

The Head Start Impact Study was a 

longitudinal study that involved 

approximately 5,000 first-time-enrolled 

three- and four-year-old pre school 

children across 84 nationally 

representative grantee/delegate agencies 

(in communities where there were more 

eligible children and families than can 

be served by the program). The 

participating children were randomly 

assigned to either a Head Start group 

(that could enroll in Head Start services) 

or a control group (that could not enroll 

in Head Start services but could enroll 

in other available services selected by 

their parents). Data collection for the 

study began in the fall of 2002 and 

extended through spring 2006. 

It is the intention of the 

Administration for Children and 

Families to examine outcomes for this 

sample of children and families during 

the spring of the children’s third grade 

year. Data will be collected in the spring 

of 2007 (for the four-year-old cohort) 

and the spring of 2008 (for the threeyear-old cohort). The domains for 

development to be assessed include 

demographic characteristics of the 

children and families, as well as 

children’s cognitive development, 

school achievement and adjustment, 

socio-emotional functioning, health and 

access to health care, and relationships 

with peers. Information will also be 

collected on parents’ involvement in 

educational activities, mental health 

and well-being, and monitoring and 

other parenting practices, and 

information related to the characteristics 

and quality of the schools and 

classrooms that children attend. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households and school districts.
