Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Evaluation of the Community Healthy Marriage Initiative.
    OMB No.: No collection.
    Description: The administration for Children and Families, United 
States Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting a 
demonstration and evaluation called Community Healthy Marriage 
Initiative (CHMI). Demonstration programs will be funded to support 
healthy marriage directly as well as encourage community changes in 
norms that increase support for healthy marriages and improve child and 
family well-being. The objective of the impact evaluation is to 
evaluate the community effects of these interventions on marital 
stability and satisfaction and child and family well-being 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 CMI surveys. The impact evaluation will 
assess the effects of community healthy marriage initiatives by 
comparing family and child well-being 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.
