Strengthening Relationship Education and Marriage Services (STREAMS) Evaluation
2015-2022
Prepared For
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation
Since the early 2000s, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has led a sustained effort to provide healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) programs and to expand the available evidence on them. In 2015, ACF contracted with Mathematica and its partner, Public Strategies, to conduct the Strengthening Relationship Education and Marriage Services (STREAMS) evaluation to identify strategies for improving the delivery and effectiveness of HMRE programs. The evaluation emphasized understudied populations and program approaches not covered in ACF’s prior federal evaluations. The evaluation involved dozens of program staff and thousands of program participants from five organizations around the country that received HMRE grants from ACF’s Office of Family Assistance in 2015.
