简要总结
The key goal of this descriptive evaluation is to assess the extent to which participation in the Fatherhood Works Program is positively associated with improved attitudes and behaviors among fathers and father figures in Central Texas. Research questions will focus on whether attitudes and behaviors related to parenting, co-parenting, and employment change after participation in primary program services.
详细描述
This evaluation seeks to understand the positive and/or negative impacts of an evidence-based core curriculum, Nurturing Fathers (NF), in combination with other workshops and case management services. All participants will receive a range of support services tailored to individuals' needs related to financial planning, career counseling, job search assistance, and occupational skills training. The program facilitator will offer the NF curriculum in both virtual and in-person formats. The evaluation will seek to determine to what extent participation in a program that uses Nurturing Fathers curriculum, in combination with other workshop programming, is associated with changes in parenting and employment attitudes as well as parenting and co-parenting behaviors.
