The Supporting Healthy Marriage Evaluation: Final Implementation Findings

The Office of Planning, Research, & Evaluation (OPRE) released the report, "The Supporting Healthy Marriage Evaluation: Final Implementation Findings." This is the final report documenting the implementation by eight organizations of the yearlong, multi-component Supporting Healthy Marriage (SHM) program model of marriage and relationship education services. An earlier report, "The Supporting Healthy Marriage Evaluation: Early Impacts on Low-Income Families" presented findings on the impacts of SHM programs about 12 months after couples enrolled. This report presents information about implementation of the programs, the characteristics of couples who enrolled, and their participation in the programs. The project is being conducted by MDRC in collaboration with Abt Associates and other partners.
