    Title: Exploration of Low-Income Couples' Decision-Making 
Processes.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data 
collection activity as part of the Exploration of Low-Income Couples' 
Decision Making (CDM) Processes study. This project will gather 
important information that will be useful for improving social services 
delivery approaches for working with individuals in couple 
relationships. The proposed collection will consist of a telephone 
survey and in-home observation of low-income couples. These data 
collection efforts will examine sources of conflict and assess 
decision-making processes among low-income couples--especially in 
relation to issues directly addressed by social service programs (e.g., 
employment, housing, etc.)
    Respondents: Low-income couples.
