Abstract:
The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks approval to collect process and impact study data from six healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) programs funded by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) within ACF. This information collection is being carried out as part of the Strengthening Relationship Education and Marriage Services (STREAMS) evaluation. The purpose of STREAMS is to measure the effectiveness and quality of HMRE programs, program components, and implementation factors designed to strengthen and improve the quality of romantic relationships. The evaluation will examine HMRE programs serving both youth and adults and will fill knowledge gaps about the effectiveness of these programs and strategies for improving program delivery and participant engagement in services.
