Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to collect proposed information in support of a study of approaches used by selected home visiting programs to actively engage fathers in their program services. ACF is interested in obtaining information to disseminate lessons from these home visiting programs to other home visiting programs as well as to those who provide program oversight and assistance. Through the proposed information collection, the researchers will obtain information about the strategies used by the home visiting programs to actively engage fathers in home visiting services, the perspectives and experiences of staff in these programs, and the experiences and views of fathers who have participated in the selected programs as well as the views of the mothers. The study will include site visits to five selected home visiting programs that vary in their service delivery models, the populations they serve, and geographic location. Information will be collected through small group and one-on-one discussions with program directors, supervisors/coordinators, home visitors, and participating fathers and mothers.
