简要总结
Montefiore Medical Center (in partnership with BronxWorks) is implementing a large-scope program to promote responsible fatherhood in the Bronx among low-income adult (18 years or older) fathers with non-custodial children (under the age of 24). The program, called HERO Dads (Healthy, Empowered, Resilient, Open Dads), will promote responsible fatherhood by enhancing relationship and anger-management skills and providing marriage education; providing skills-based parenting education, disseminating information about good parenting practices, and encouraging child support payments (in partnership with our local OCSE); and fostering economic stability by providing employment-related supports inclusive of job search, vocational skills training, job referrals, and job retention.
详细描述
The program model is based on the premise that relationship and parenting skills can be taught, and will lead to improvements in relationships (knowledge about relationships, communication skills, stress management, reduction in destructive conflict), parenting (knowledge about child development, engagement with non-custodial children, effective parenting, co-parent communication, child well-being), and economic status (vocational skills, new employment or career advancement, financial literacy, child support). The investigator will provide core relationship and relationship education workshops using an empirically supported curriculum (24/7 Dad) plus employment workshops, numerous supplemental activities to promote responsible fatherhood, individualized vocational case management, and job-driven employment services. In total, the investigator expects to enroll 1,475 non-custodial fathers in the program and provide an average of 34 hours of total programming per participant (including 24 hours of core workshops), which the investigator believes is a sufficient dosage to detect impacts.

结局指标
主要结局
Fatherhood Involvement
时间窗: Change from Baseline to 6 months after intervention
Fatherhood Involvement will be assessed using the Inventory of Fatherhood Involvement short form (IFI) questionnaire. The IFI is a 26-item self-report instrument that assesses indirect and direct father involvement using a 7- point Likert scale ranging from 0 (very poor) to 6 (excellent). This measure addresses the 3 main domains of father involvement: engagement, accessibility, and responsibility. Overall scores can therefore range from 0 to 156. Higher scores represent increased levels of engagement. Scores will be summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics. 2-sample t-test will be used to compare the changes in the IFI scores from Baseline to 6-month follow-up between the study arms.
