Full description

The overall evaluation plan for the Growing Responsible Fathers program (Fatherhood PRIDE) will utilize both a process evaluation and an outcomes evaluation, and will include both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Pre- and post-test surveys will be used to measure short-term outcomes outlined in the logic model including whether or not there has been an increase in self-efficacy and knowledge related to personal finance, parent engagement, healthy relationships, and education. Pre-test surveys will be administered at intake and/or prior to program activity and post-test surveys will be conducted at the conclusion of the program activity.

Intermediate outcomes will be measured using a follow-up survey at six (6) months after completing the primary components of the program. The follow-up surveys will be administered via a variety of methods in order to increase response rates and will measure outcomes identified in the logic model such as knowledge and self-efficacy.

Additional attempts will be made online through an email invitation as well as with phone calls. Center for Community Initiatives staff will be responsible for conducting the follow-up surveys with the program participants. Focus groups will be conducted with a volunteer sample of participants at the end of their program workshops to assess satisfaction with the program, what worked, and what could be improved.
