Relationship Education.

    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) 
will examine how healthy marriage programs currently approach, and 
could approach, serving sexual minority populations, that is, lesbian, 
gay, and bisexual populations. ACF expects to collect and analyze data 
from a range of information collection efforts--including interviews 
with program administrators, program managers, healthy marriage and 
relationship programming experts, and focus groups with program 
applicants and program attendees--to propose methods and practices for 
serving such couples/individuals/youth.
    Respondents: Current program applicants and participants, program 
managers and facilitators, and experts in the field.
