This impact evaluation aims to determine if the addition of 10 hours of domestic violence prevention programming is effective at improving outcomes among those program participants who are randomly assigned to the treatment group. Both study groups will receive standard TYRO Champion Dads services (the TYRO Dads and TYRO Core Communication evidence-based curricula, plus support services), but only the treatment group will be offered the additional Ray of Hope curriculum hours focused on mitigating risk factors related to domestic violence.
Anthem Strong Families (ASF) is reviewing the Ray of Hope curriculum as a possible addition to standard TCD services to better meet the needs of populations that may have unmet needs to address domestic violence in their families. The Ray of Hope curriculum is designed to help participants develop communication and conflict management skills like Core Communication but is a more robust approach since it adds a sharp focus on the dynamics of domestic violence and related risk factors.
The impact of the addition of the Ray of Hope curriculum will be assessed by comparing outcomes for participants who receive standard TYRO Champion Dads (TCD) services, which includes the TYRO curriculum plus support services, and participants who receive both standard services plus 10 Ray of Hope curriculum hours.
Goal 1: determine if treatment group participants who receive enhanced TCD services report healthier parenting attitudes compared to control group participants who receive only standard TCD services 6 months after TCD enrollment.
Goal 2: determine if treatment group participants who receive enhanced TCD services report healthier partner relationship behavior compared to control group participants who receive only standard TCD services 6 months after TCD enrollment.
Goal 3: determine if treatment group participants who receive enhanced TCD services report healthier parenting behavior compared to control group participants who receive only standard TCD services 6 months after TCD enrollment.
Goal 4: determine if treatment group participants who receive enhanced TCD services report healthier co-parenting behavior compared to control group participants who receive only standard TCD services 6 months after TCD enrollment.

| Treatment-Enhanced Services (Standard + Ray of Hope) | Experimental | Treatment group participants receive standard and enhanced services. Standard services are delivered as primary services to participants in both study groups under a shared condition, and they are: 20 hours of TYRO Dads curricula and 6 hours of Core Communication curricula. Finally, only the treatment group receives 10 hours of the Ray of Hope curriculum as an enhanced service. Optional services are available to both study groups by selecting 1-3 hours of coursework from a menu of courses in the Mini-Clinic that address a variety of needs. |

| Primary Outcome Measures 2: Healthy Parenting Behavior | What is the impact of enhanced TCD services (treatment) compared to standard TCD services only (control) on healthy parent behavior 6 months after TCD enrollment? • 1 survey item measures the reported frequency of fighting with their child on a five-point scale where 1 is never and 5 is every day or almost every day o A lower score is better maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0 | baseline to 6-months after enrollment |
| Primary Outcome Measure 3: Healthy Co-parenting Behavior | What is the impact of enhanced TCD services (treatment) compared to standard TCD services only (control) on healthy co-parent behavior 6 months after TCD enrollment? • 11 survey items measure the reported frequency of agreement with key co-parenting behaviors using categories on a 5-point scale (1 'Strongly Disagree', 2 'Disagree', 3 'Neither Agree Nor Disagree', 4 'Agree', 5 'Strongly Agree'). The 11 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 11 to create the construct score.
