This
study examined effects of participation in a Head Start-based father involvement
intervention program. Findings suggested a positive association between high level
participation in the intervention and increased father involvement at post- treatment.
Children in the high participation group showed higher mathematics readiness change
scores. Children in the low participation comparison group showed significant
increases in behavior problems. (Author/KB)
