简要总结
The purpose of this descriptive study is to explore whether there is an association between participation in the Strong Fathers, Stronger Families program and improvements in outcomes related to parenting, co-parenting, and economic stability. Participants are surveyed at program entry and program exit, and changes in participant attitudes are assessed over time.
详细描述
This study is a descriptive evaluation of the Strong Fathers, Stronger Families program offered to fathers in the Memphis metropolitan area. Program participants are informed about the study and asked to provide consent to participate in the evaluation of the ten-week program. Consenting participants complete surveys at program enrollment and program exit, and survey data is used to determine if program participation is associated with short-term changes in attitudes and behaviors among participants. Changes in parenting, co-parenting, and economic stability outcomes are assessed by comparing survey answers before and after participating in 40 hours of the Blueprint and 24/7 Dad curricula.

主要结局
1) Healthy Parenting Behaviors Measurement #1
时间窗: change from baseline in parenting behaviors (interactions with child) from enrollment to program exit (10 weeks).
Will participants report significantly healthier parenting behavior at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: Parenting behavior measured with: 13 items depending on child age - frequency of key behaviors with participant's youngest child (categorical, 5-point scale) Measured on the parenting behavior scale #1 as: 1 = never, 2 = 1 to 2 days per month, 3 = 3 or 4 days per month, 4 = 2 or 3 days per week, 5 = every day or almost every day The higher the rating, the better the score. The construct is created by adding all scores together and dividing by 13. The higher the score on a scale of 1-5, the better the outcome. The lower the score, the worse the outcome. maximum score: 5.0, minimum score: 1.0

时间窗: change from baseline in co-parenting behaviors (interactions with co-parent) from enrollment to program exit (10 weeks).
Will participants report significantly healthier co-parenting behavior at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: 5 items: frequency of agreement with key co-parenting behaviors (categorical, 5-point scale) Measured on the co-parenting behavior scale #1 as: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree The construct is created by adding all scores together and dividing by 11. The higher the score on a scale of 1-5, the better the outcome. The lower the score, the worse the outcome. maximum score: 5.0, minimum score: 1.0
3) Economic Stability Measurement #1
时间窗: change from baseline in economic stability from enrollment to program exit (10 weeks).
Will participants report significantly healthier economic stability at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: 1 items: yes or no questions for have checking/savings account (dichotomous) 1=yes, 0=no
4) Economic Stability Measurement #2

Will participants report significantly healthier economic stability at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: 1 item: frequency of difficulty paying bills (categorical, 4-point scale) Measured on the economic stability scale #1 as: 1 = never, 2 = once in a while, 3 = somewhat often, 4 = very often The lower the score, the better the outcome.
