Abstract:
The purpose of the Coparenting and Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education for Dads (CHaRMED) study is to better understand the services that federal and non-federal fatherhood programs provide in the areas of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) and coparenting to learn what strategies hold promise for promoting fathers’ active engagement in these services. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has contracted with Child Trends, who will lead this work by conducting semi-structured interviews with fatherhood program staff, community partners, nonparticipating fathers, and curriculum developers; and through focus groups with current program participants (fathers) and coparents. For the purpose of this study, nonparticipating fathers are fathers who are currently enrolled in a fatherhood program but never received coparenting or marriage/romantic relationship education services; are currently enrolled in a fatherhood program and received coparenting or marriage/romantic relationship education services but dropped out of these services before they were complete; or are no longer enrolled in a fatherhood program and stopped the program before completing coparenting or marriage/romantic relationship education services. The data collected will be drawn from a sample of federally-funded Responsible Fatherhood (RF) grantees and non-RF fatherhood programs. The findings are meant to inform efforts to promote healthy romantic relationships and coparenting among the broader (non-federal) field of fatherhood programming. The data collection is not intended to produce statistically generalizable results. We do not intend for this information to be used as the principal basis for public policy decisions.
