Measure	Treatment-Enhanced Services (Standard + Ray of Hope) Treatment group participants receive standard and enhanced services. Standard services are delivered as primary services to participants in both study groups under a shared condition, and they are: 20 hours of TYRO Dads curricula and 6 hours of Core Communication curricula. Finally, only the treatment group receives 10 hours of the Ray of Hope curriculum as an enhanced service. Optional services are available to both study groups by selecting 1-3 hours of coursework from a menu of courses in the Mini-Clinic that address a variety of needs. Standard Servies + Ray of Hope Curriculum: Standard services delivered as primary services to participants in both study groups under a shared condition are: 20 hours of TYRO Dads curricula and 6 hours of Core Communication curricula.

What is the impact of enhanced TCD services (treatment) compared to standard TCD services only (control) on healthy parent behavior 6 months after TCD enrollment? * Average of 11 survey items that relate to frequency of positive interactions with participant's youngest child using categories on a five-point scale where 1 is never and 5 is every day or almost every day * Higher scores are always positive The 11 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 11 to create the construct score. maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0
