SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Core components are the
essential functions, principles, and
elements that are judged as being
necessary to produce positive outcomes.
Fatherhood programs usually offer
workshops and case management
services for fathers to provide, for
example, parenting strategies to
strengthen their relationships with their
children, help finding a steady job,
skills to enhance their relationships,
and support dealing with other life or
family challenges they might
experience. Five Fatherhood FIRE grant
recipients are partnering with the
Fatherhood TIES study team to
participate in an implementation and
impact study. The implementation
study will examine how the core
components are implemented and what
fathers think of them. The impact study
will rigorously evaluate whether
promising core components bring about
positive outcomes for fathers and their
families which may include
understanding effects of program
engagement, economic stability, fatherchild relationship quality and coparenting relationship quality.
Initial study (Phase 1) materials,
including consent to participate in the
study, additional baseline information
from program participants, and initial
implementation study data were
