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.
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.

| Parenting Behavior Measurement #1 | 1a) Will participants report significantly healthier parenting behavior after completing primary educational services and employment support services? Items measured include: 1 item: frequency reaching out to children (categories, 5-point scale) 7 items: frequency engaging in key behaviors (categories, 5-point scale) Measured on the Healthy 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 8 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 8 to create the construct score. The higher the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0 | Change from baseline in parenting behavior (interaction with child) from enrollment to 12-month follow-up |
| Co-parenting Behavior Measurement #1 | 2) Will participants report significantly healthier co-parenting behavior after completing primary educational services and employment support services? Items measured include: 11 items: frequency of agreement with key co-parenting behaviors (interval, 5-point scale) Measured on the Healthy Co-parenting Behavior Scale #1 as: 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3= Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree For 6 items, the lower the rating, the better the score. 5 items are reverse coded, with a higher rating indicating a better score. The 11 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 8 to create the construct score. The higher the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0. | Change from baseline in co-parenting behavior (interaction with co-parent) from enrollment to 12-month follow-up |
