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.’’
