Low-Income Fathers and "Responsible Fatherhood" Programs: A Qualitative Investigation of Participants' Experiences.

Anderson, Elaine A.; Kohler, Julie K.; Letiecq, Bethany L.

Family Relations, v51 n2 p148-55 Apr 2002

Presents stories of low-income fathers (N=20) who participated in a Responsible Fatherhood (RF) program in a large urban area. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was used to document participants' memories of becoming fathers, the benefits and barriers to them remaining in the program, and their suggestions for program improvement. Discusses how these findings are helpful for future programmatic and policy initiatives. (Author)
