Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage 

(SHM) Demonstration and Evaluation 

Project: 12-month Follow-up and 

Implementation Research Data 

Collection. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

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 

separate locations that will aim to enroll 

up to 1,000 couples per location, up to 

500 couples participating in SHM 

programs and 500 control group 

couples. 

SHM is designed to inform program 

operators and policymakers of the most 

effective ways to help low-income 

married couples strengthen and 

maintain healthy marriages. In 

particular, the project will measure the 

effectiveness of marriage education 

programs by randomly assigning eligible 

volunteer couples to SHM program 

groups and control groups. 

This data collection request includes 

three components. First, a survey will 

be administered to couples 12 months 

after they are enrolled in the program. 

The survey is designed to assess the 

effects of the SHM program on marital 

status and stability, quality of 

relationship with spouse, marital 

expectations and ideals, marital 

satisfaction, participation in services, 

parenting outcomes, child outcomes, 

parental well-being, employment, 

income, material hardship, and social 

support characteristics of study 

participants assigned to both the 

program and control groups. Second, 

survey data will be complemented by 

videotaped observations of couple, coparenting, and parent-child interactions 

with a subset of intact and separated 

couples at the 12-month follow-up. 

Third, qualitative data will be collected 

through a process and implementation 

study in each of the eight SHM 

demonstration programs across the 

country. 

These data will complement the 

information gathered by the SHM 

baseline data collection (OMB Control 

No. 0970–0299). The information 

collected at the 12-month follow-up will 

allow the research team to examine the 

effects of SHM services on outcomes of 

interest and to identify mechanisms that 

might account for these effects. The 

process and implementation research 

will consist of a qualitative component 

that will help ACF to better understand 

the results from the impact analysis as 

well as how to replicate programs that 

prove to be successful. 

Respondents: Low-income married 

couples with children.
