Study Details

Brief summary:

Father-child pairs (N=200; children ages 12-36 months) will be randomized to FIND-F or a waitlist control group. Assessments comparing the two groups will occur at baseline, end of program, and 6 months post-program. Our aims include:

Aim 1: Evaluate the main impacts of FIND-F on the primary program target (fathers' supportive parenting) and related child and parent outcomes.

Aim 2. Identify mechanisms of FIND-F's intervention effects.

Aim 3. Examine variation by select child, father, and program measures.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Filming Interactions to Nurture development (FIND)

This group of fathers will receive FIND, a 6-session manualized program. FIND with fathers is delivered through flexible home visits, targets warm and responsive father-child interactions, and uses video recordings to emphasize each father's parenting strengths in the context of everyday caretaking moments.

no intervention: Waitlist Control

This group will serve as the control group. After all data is collected, they will be offered FIND.

Interventions

Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND)

FIND-F is a 6-session manualized program that begins with the home visitor taking a 10-minute video of the father and child engaging in an everyday activity (e.g., playing, having a snack). Then, that video is carefully edited to emphasize the specific strengths observed in the father-child interactions. The brief, edited videos are then reviewed with the father the following week. In reviewing the video clips, the home visitor uses micro-analytic narration, highlighting the frame-by-frame sequence of events that fosters the child's healthy development. In this way, the goal of FIND-F is to shift the father's perceptions of himself and his child, enabling the father to become increasingly responsive and encouraging. Home visitors also provide opportunities for fathers to comment and ask questions throughout the video review.
