Strong Fathers, Stronger Families Program Evaluation
Strong Fathers, Stronger Families Program Evaluation
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.
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.
