Webinar 7/27/20: How Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Program Activities May Lead to Intended Outcomes
Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) programming began as a relationship stability strategy for premarital couples, and spread to serve a broader range of couples, including low-income and at-risk families. HMRE programs for adult couples funded by the Administration for Children and Families address marriage and relationship skills, parenting skills, financial management, conflict resolution, and job and career advancement. To support development of future programs and guide research, Mathematica, as part of the Parents and Children Together (PACT) evaluation, developed three models that hypothesize how program activities may lead to intended outcomes. The hypotheses address:
- Selecting, tailoring, and delivering an evidence-informed HMRE curriculum
- Increasing participation in HMRE workshops
- Accommodating the unique circumstances of individuals and couples in programs
During the webinar, the PACT team will describe the work conducted to develop these models and introduce each model. The webinar will provide ideas for activities that HMRE practitioners can consider, and potentially test, as part of their programs.
