This study examined the impact of an intervention program targeted at teachers and designed to encourage father/male involvement in state-funded prekindergarten programs for at-risk children. Findings suggested that a significantly higher proportion of the parent involvement contacts and activities at the treatment site program involved fathers/men than at the comparison site program.
