OPRE Catalog of Research Program for Low-income Fathers
Dec 2011 | Author: Mathematica Policy ResearchExcerpt from Executive Summary of Report: Efforts to support and promote responsible fatherhood have increased in recent decades, spurred by research that shows a link between supportive fathering and positive child outcomes. In response to interest in such programming, the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation within the Administration for Children and Families, US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), engaged Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the Strengthening Families Evidence Review (SFER) to identify and review studies of family strengthening programs.
This catalog focuses on studies of programs that served low-income fathers; a separate catalog presents studies of programs that served low-income couples. This catalog compiles information from 90 studies of 70 programs. Each study description provides details on the research, such as study design and characteristics of those included in the sample and of the programs, such as structure, staffing and operations.
