简要总结
The purpose of this descriptive study is to explore whether there is an association between participation in the Gentle Warriors Academy and improvements in outcomes related to parenting, co-parenting, and parental well-being. Participants are surveyed at program entry, program exit, and 12 months following program enrollment, and changes in participant attitudes and behaviors are assessed over time.
详细描述
This study is a descriptive evaluation of the Gentle Warriors Academy program offered to fathers in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Program participants are informed about the study and asked to provide consent to participate in the evaluation of the program. Consenting participants complete surveys at program enrollment, program exit, and 12 months after program enrollment, and survey data is used to determine if the program is associated with short-term and long-term changes in attitudes and behaviors among participants. Changes in parenting attitudes and parental well-being are assessed by comparing survey answers before and after participating in 26 hours of the Next Level Fatherhood primary curriculum. Changes in behaviors related to parenting and co-parenting are assessed from program entry to 12 months post-enrollment.

结局指标
主要结局
1) Healthy Parenting Attitudes Measurement #1
时间窗: baseline and program exit at 10 weeks post-enrollment
Will participants report significantly healthier parenting attitudes after completing primary workshops, as compared to responses at program enrollment? Items measured include: Parenting attitudes measured with: 7 items - frequency of feelings about participant's youngest child (categorical, 5-point scale) Measured on the parenting attitudes scale #1 as: 1 = always, 2 = often, 3 = sometimes, 4 = rarely, 5 = never The construct is created by adding all 7 scores together and dividing by 7. 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
2) Healthy Parenting Behaviors Measurement #1
时间窗: Time frame: change from baseline in parenting behaviors (interactions with child) from enrollment to 1 year post-enrollment.
Will participants report significantly healthier parenting behavior one year after enrolling in the program, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: Parenting behavior measured with: 11 items - 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 11 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) Healthy Co-parenting Behaviors Measurement #1
时间窗: change from baseline in co-parenting behaviors (interactions with co-parent) from enrollment to 1 year post-enrollment.
Will participants report significantly healthier co-parenting behavior one year after enrolling in the program, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: 11 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.
4) Parent Wellbeing Measurement #1
时间窗: change from baseline in parental wellbeing (feelings about parenting) from enrollment to program exit (10 weeks).
Will participants report significantly higher parental wellbeing after completing primary workshops, as compared to responses at program enrollment? 1 item: frequency of feeling overwhelmed by parenting responsibilities (categorical, 4-point scale) 1 = never, 2 = hardly ever, 3 = sometimes, 4 = often The lower the number, the better the score. Maximum score=4.0, minimum score=1
