Practicing Family Impact
Analysis Notes
Preamble
Thank you for your participation
in the Minnesota Children’s Summit 2005: Smart
Policies, Strong Families on Monday, March 28th. As
part of the day you had the opportunity to practice
family impact analysis in small groups. Eleven different
groups used the Family Impact Checklist to assess the
impact of a policy or program on families. An individual
was assigned to take notes during each of these practice
sessions. The summaries of the discussions that took
place during each of the sessions follow below. It is
important to note that the individuals who took notes
did so in varied ways so a lack of consistency across
the notes may be apparent. In addition, the intent of
the notes is to be a summary of the discussion that
took place during each of the sessions. Each discussion
varied in content and format as is reflected in the
notes. The notes represent the range of discussions
that took place as groups practiced family impact analysis.
It is also important to note that
the break out sessions were intended to provide participants
with the flavor of the Family Impact Checklist, and
to offer a chance to briefly practice using it. The
sessions were not intended to result in a statement
of family impact about the policy or program under review.
Therefore, the notes below should not be used to draw
conclusions about the family impact of any particular
policies or programs.

Council on Family Relations)
