The purpose of the CHaRMED study is to better understand the services that federal and non-federal fatherhood programs provide in the areas of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) and coparenting to learn what strategies hold promise for promoting fathers’ active engagement in these services. To accomplish this, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has contracted with Child Trends to conduct semi-structured interviews with fatherhood program and community partner staff, fathers who are not currently enrolled and/or participating in healthy romantic or coparenting relationship services (“nonparticipating” fathers), and curriculum developers; focus groups with fathers who are currently enrolled in fatherhood programs and attending healthy romantic or coparenting relationship services (participating fathers) and coparents; and on-site program observations of fatherhood programs. Materials for this descriptive, exploratory study received OMB approval on February 03, 2020 (OMB #0970-0540). Data collection began in March 2020 just as many states and local jurisdictions were beginning to implement social distancing guidance to contain the spread of COVID-19. As a result, ACF seeks to modify several components of the CHaRMED study’s design so that the study can continue data collection using remote procedures and so that the study can address a few new questions related to how COVID-19 may be affecting fathers, coparents, and the programs that serve them. Additional modifications are requested to account for minor updates to the study’s target population of fathers and the data collection instruments.

Miscellaneous Actions
The requested changes submitted in April 2020 have implications for study burden due to the change in study design. Individual interviews will be conducted with participating fathers and coparents in lieu of focus groups to allow for remote data collection via phone or videoconference. In the study design approved in Feb 2020, the team anticipated conducting focus groups with 6-8 fathers at up to 13 sites and 6-8 coparents at up to 6 sites. The current request proposes conducting 2-4 interviews with participating fathers at up to 13 sites and with 1-4 coparents at up to 6 sites. The smaller proposed sample size reduces the overall participant burden of this study.
