This report presents three HMRE Pathways-to-Outcomes models for HMRE programs serving adult couples, related to (1) delivering curriculum, (2) maximizing participation, and (3) addressing couple and individual characteristics. We developed the models using information from the federal evaluations, discussions with researchers and practitioners, and a targeted literature search. Although we present the models separately, readers should consider the set of models together and complementarily.
