Trial Outcomes & Findings for Strong Fathers, Stronger Families Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Program Evaluation (NCT NCT06907719)

NCT ID: NCT06907719

Last Updated: 2025-10-01

Results Overview

Will participants report significantly healthier parenting behavior at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: Parenting behavior measured with: 13 items depending on child age - frequency of key behaviors with participant's youngest child (categorical, 5-point scale) Measured on the parenting behavior scale #1 as: 1 = never, 2 = 1 to 2 days per month, 3 = 3 or 4 days per month, 4 = 2 or 3 days per week, 5 = every day or almost every day The higher the rating, the better the score. The construct is created by adding all scores together and dividing by 13. The higher the score on a scale of 1-5, the better the outcome. The lower the score, the worse the outcome. maximum score: 5.0, minimum score: 1.0

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: change from baseline in co-parenting behaviors (interactions with co-parent) from enrollment to program exit (10 weeks).

Will participants report significantly healthier co-parenting behavior at program exit, as compared to responses at baseline? Items measured include: 5 items: frequency of agreement with key co-parenting behaviors (categorical, 5-point scale) Measured on the co-parenting behavior scale #1 as: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree The construct is created by adding all scores together and dividing by 11. The higher the score on a scale of 1-5, the better the outcome. The lower the score, the worse the outcome. maximum score: 5.0, minimum score: 1.0
