Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting and Partnering, 2008-2014 [5 States]

This collection contains data from the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting and Partnering [MSF-IP]. The MSF-IP is an evaluation of a grant program funded by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to promote or sustain healthy relationships and to strengthen families in which a father was incarcerated or otherwise involved with the criminal justice system (e.g., recently released or on parole or probation). From 2006-2011, grantees were required to serve justice-involved fathers and their committed partners with services to promote healthy marriage; they were also permitted to provide activities to support parenting and foster economic stability. The MFS-IP evaluation was funded to document program implementation and the impact of programming on outcomes such as relationship quality and stability, parenting and co-parenting, family financial well-being, and recidivism. This collection includes data from the impact study, conducted across five grantees: the Indiana Department of Correction, the RIDGE Project (Ohio), the New Jersey Department of Corrections, the Osborne Association (New York), and the Minnesota Council on Crime and Justice. The collection includes de-identified interview data for 1,991 men and 1,482 intimate and co-parenting partners. The interviews took place from December 2008 through August 2014. Couples were first interviewed during the male partner's incarceration (with the timing of baseline interviews not related to the man's admission or release date in most sites) and then interviewed again nine and 18 months after baseline. In the two largest sites (Indiana and Ohio), an additional 34-month follow-up interview was conducted. The interviews were similar in content at each interview wave and for the male and female interviews, but differed based on male partner's trajectory of incarceration and release over the follow-up period. Topics within this collection include demographics, personal characteristics and attitudes, criminal history and behavior, incarceration experiences (including family contact during incarceration), program and service receipt, expectations for release, family structure and functioning, intimate relationship quality, parenting and co-parenting quality, child well-being, employment, housing, substance use, and experiences with reentry.

本数据集收录了多站点监禁、育儿与伴侣关系家庭研究（Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting and Partnering，缩写MSF-IP）的相关数据。MSF-IP是一项针对资助项目的评估研究，该项目由美国卫生与公众服务部（U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HHS）下属儿童与家庭管理局（Administration for Children and Families, ACF）的家庭援助办公室（Office of Family Assistance, OFA）资助，旨在促进或维持健康伴侣关系，强化父亲曾入狱或涉及刑事司法系统（例如刚出狱、处于假释或缓刑期）的家庭。2006年至2011年间，受资助方需为涉案父亲及其固定伴侣提供服务以推动健康婚姻关系建设，同时可开展相关活动支持育儿工作并助力家庭经济稳定。本MSF-IP评估项目的资助目标为记录项目实施情况，以及该项目在伴侣关系质量与稳定性、育儿与共同育儿、家庭经济福祉以及再犯率等方面产生的影响。本数据集收录了来自5家受资助方开展的影响评估研究数据，分别为印第安纳州惩教署、俄亥俄州RIDGE项目、新泽西州惩教署、纽约奥斯本协会以及明尼苏达州犯罪与司法委员会。数据集包含1991名男性及1482名亲密伴侣与共同育儿伴侣的去标识化访谈数据，访谈工作于2008年12月至2014年8月间开展。研究对象夫妇首先在男性伴侣服刑期间接受基线访谈（多数站点的基线访谈时间与男性的入狱或出狱日期无关），随后分别在基线访谈后的第9个月和第18个月进行二次随访。在规模最大的两个站点（印第安纳州与俄亥俄州），还额外开展了第34个月的随访访谈。各轮次访谈以及男女受访者的访谈内容框架基本一致，但会根据男性伴侣在随访期间的监禁与出狱轨迹进行调整。本数据集涵盖的访谈主题包括人口统计学信息、个人特征与态度、犯罪史与行为、监禁经历（含监禁期间的家庭联系情况）、项目与服务参与情况、出狱预期、家庭结构与功能、亲密关系质量、育儿与共同育儿质量、儿童福祉、就业、住房、物质使用情况以及重返社会相关经历。
