Oklahoma Marriage Initiative

The research institute Mathematica has released an issue brief on the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative.

"The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative: An Overview of the Longest-Running
Statewide Marriage Initiative in the U.S." M. Robin Dion, December 2006. This
new brief--the first in a series--profiles the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative, a
pioneering effort to support healthy marriage that began in 1999, before the
current national focus on marriage education and support. Oklahoma's program is
also the only statewide marriage initiative in the country. The brief explores
the origins, implementation, and goals of this public-private collaboration. To
provide information to other entities implementing similar initiatives, future
briefs will identify lessons learned by Oklahoma, including the obstacles it
faced and the strategies used to address them.
