African American Non-Resident Fatherhood Program: Effects on Child/Family Outcomes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating BBTF Intervention and Financial Literacy Program for Father - Child Relations. Completed, enrolled 308 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The number of children living apart from their fathers has grown nationally, and the greatest percentage is evident among African American (AA) families; two-thirds of all African American children live in households without their biological father. Research supports the importance of positive fathering in the lives of children. But in order for children to benefit from their fathers' involvement, the father-child relationship must be timely and sustained. This study will test culturally relevant interventions aimed at increasing non-resident (not living with the child) AA fathers' involvement with their children.
