Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Project: 

Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage 

(SHM) Demonstration and Evaluation 

Project—Wave 2 Survey. 

OMB No. 0970–0339. 

The Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services, is 

conducting a demonstration and 

evaluation called the Supporting 

Healthy Marriage (SHM) Project. SHM is 

a test of marriage education 

demonstration programs in eight sites 

that will enroll about 800 couples per 

site, with half assigned to participate in 

the SHM program, and the other half 

assigned to the control group. 

SHM is designed to inform program 

operators and policymakers of the 

effectiveness of programs designed to 

help low-income married couples 

strengthen and maintain healthy 

marriages and improve outcomes for 

adults and children. 

This notice of information collection 

is for a second adult survey instrument 

and new instruments to obtain 

information from children and youth 

about 30 months after study entry and 

for an extension of the period of 

approval for the first survey and 

observation instruments, which are used 

to obtain information from research 

participants about 12 months after study 

entry. 

The proposed second wave of 

information collection will involve: 

• An adult survey instrument to 

assess study participants’ longer term 

marital status and stability, quality of 

relationships, and a range of other 

measures. 

• A survey of focal children of study 

participants in both the program and 

control groups who are over 8 years of 

age (the youth survey). 

• A direct child assessment of focal 

children of study participants in both 

the program and the control groups who 

are 8 years of age or younger. 

Respondents: Low-income married 

couples and their children in the SHM 

evaluation research sample.
