Fathers Clinical Trial
The Child and Family Research Partnership (CFRP) will be conducting the "local" evaluation of
AVANCE's Fathers in Action/Padres Activos (FA/PA) fatherhood program. AVANCE is a non-profit
organization that has served low-income families and children since its founding in 1973.
AVANCE sites have been providing fatherhood services for some time, but the programming
offered has varied across sites and no rigorous evaluation of the programs has been
completed. Through a federally-funded Responsible Fatherhood grant, AVANCE aims to create one
fatherhood curriculum to be used across their sites: Fathers in Action/Padres Activos
(FA/PA).
The purpose of the study is to advance the field of knowledge in the area of fatherhood
programing by providing rigorous evidence on the impact of a comprehensive fatherhood program
on enhancing a father's ability to be involved with and parent his child, in addition to
providing more information on the selective characteristics of fathers who choose to
participate in fatherhood programs. The study will seek to answer the following research
questions: (1) What are the demographic and relationship characteristics of fathers who
choose to participate in the Fathers in Action/Padres Actívos (FA/PA) program, and how do
these characteristics compare to the fathers associated with mothers and children in other
AVANCE programs?; (2) Does the FA/PA program positively impact parenting and co-parenting,
father engagement and involvement, and healthy relationship?; (3) Are the program impacts
similar for low-income fathers across regions (Houston v. the Rio Grande Valley),
race/ethnicity (African American v. Hispanic), and coresidential status (nonresident v.
resident)?; and (4) What are the factors that enhance or impede the successful implementation
of the FA/PA program?
