Comment Request 

Proposed Project: 

Title: Building Strong Families (BSF) 

Demonstration and Evaluation—Impact 

Study Second Follow-up 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), is proposing a data 

collection activity as part of the 

Building Strong Families (BSF) 

Demonstration and Evaluation. The 

proposed collection will consist of two 

elements: (1) A telephone survey to be 

administered to both partners in couples 

enrolled in the BSF research sample 

about 36 months after enrollment, and 

(2) observational assessments of BSF 

families and their children. 

These data collections are part of the 

BSF evaluation, which is an important 

opportunity to learn if well-designed 

interventions can help low-income 

couples develop the knowledge and 

relationship skills that research has 

shown are associated with healthy 

marriages. BSF programs provide 

instruction and support to improve 

marriage and relationship skills and 

enhance couples’ understanding of 

marriage. In addition, BSF programs 

provide links to a variety of other 

services that could help couples sustain 

a healthy relationship (e.g., employment 

assistance). The BSF evaluation uses an 

experimental design that randomly 

assigns couples who volunteer to 

participate in BSF programs to a 

program or to a control group. 

The 36-month data collection effort 

draws heavily from the 15-month survey 

conducted in BSF sites. Materials for the 

15-month data collection effort were 

previously submitted to OMB and were 

approved under OMB Control No. 0970–

0304. 

Respondents: The respondents for the 

telephone questionnaire will be all 

couples in the BSF evaluation. The 

respondents for the observational 

assessments will be a sub-sample of 

children of the couples.
