Four research questions will be evaluated:

1. What was the magnitude of change in parenting, relationship, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to exit?

2. What was the magnitude of change in parenting, relationship, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to six months post-exit?

3. How was program dose related to change in parenting, relationships, and financial responsibility from program entrance to six months post-exit?

4. How was program support utilization related to change in parenting, relationships, and financial responsibility outcomes from program entrance to exit?
