Title: Mentoring Children of Prisoners 

Relationship Quality Survey. 

OMB No.: 0970–0308. 

Description: The Promoting Safe and 

Stable Families Amendments of 2001 

(Pub. L. 107–133) amended Title IV–B 

of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 

629–629e) to provide funding for 

nonprofit agencies that recruit, screen, 

train, and support mentors for children 

with an incarcerated parent or parents. 

The Family and Youth Services Bureau 

(FYSB) of the Administration for 

Children and Families, United States 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, administers the Mentoring 

Children of Prisoners (MCP) program. 

The MCP program creates lasting, highquality one-to-one mentoring 

relationships that provide young people 

with caring adult role models. The 

quality of these relationships is an 

important indicator of success in 

mentoring programs. Previous research 

has shown an association between highquality mentoring relationships and 

positive changes in youth behavior 

associated with positive youth benefits, 

such as improved school attendance, 

reductions in risk behavior, and other 

benefits. 

The Relationship Quality Instrument 

consists of 15 rigorously field-tested 

questions about the relationship, plus 

several questions that establish context 

(age, gender, duration of relationship 

and frequency of contacts, etc.). The 

answers to the questions help assess 

how satisfied the youth (mentee) is with 

the relationship; whether the mentee is 

happy in the relationship; whether the 

mentee trusts the mentor; and whether 

the mentor has helped the mentee to 

cope with problems. Researchers in the 

field of mentoring have tested and 

validated the questions. 

FYSB requires grantees receiving 

funding to provide information that can 

be used to evaluate outcomes for 

participating children. FYSB will use 

the information provided by the 

instrument to assure effective service 

delivery and program management and 

to guide the development of national 

monitoring and technical assistance 

systems. Finally, FYSB will use data 

from this collection for reporting 

program outcomes to Congress in the FY 

2006 Performance Report during the 

budget process and as the basis for 

outcome evaluation of the program over 

the long term.
