The Center for Urban Families (CFUF) contracted with MEF Associates to conduct a randomized control trial of its “Developing all Dads for Manhood and Parenting” (DAD MAP) fatherhood curriculum. CFUF received a grant from the Fatherhood Research and Practice Network to test the curriculum, which was designed to guide interactive group workshops. The workshops assisted low income fathers in four key areas: fatherhood responsibility; parental involvement; employment readiness; and co-parenting cooperation. The study compared the DAD MAP curriculum condition to an unstructured support group using follow up data collected at one, three, and six months post random assignment.
