Adapted Coaching Program for Fathers and Young Children
This study is testing a program called Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND-F) to help fathers improve their parenting skills. FIND-F is a 6-session program where a home visitor films you interacting with your child, then edits the video to highlight your strengths as a parent. The goal is to see if FIND-F helps fathers become more supportive parents, which will be measured at 7 weeks and again 6 months after the program ends. You can join if you identify as a father, speak English or Spanish, have a child between 12 and 36 months old who lives with you, and are already receiving Akin services. The study aims to enroll 200 father-child pairs, but the current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional, randomized controlled trial. 200 father-child pairs will be randomly assigned to either receive the FIND-F program or be placed on a waitlist.
- What's involved
- Participants will have 6 sessions for the FIND-F program. Assessments will occur at the beginning of the study, at the end of the program (7 weeks), and 6 months after the program ends.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants' supportive parenting practices will be measured at 6 months after the end of treatment.

What this trial measures
- Fathers' Supportive Parenting PracticesFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 7 weeks
Fathers' supportive parenting skills will be observed through videotaped father-child interactions. Fathers will be provided with a standard bag of toys and asked to "share these toys with your child as you normally would." Each set of toys (one set for pretest, one for endpoint, and one for follow-up) has been carefully selected with input from home visitors about which toys could support interactions across the age range in our study. The first 10 minutes of the videotaped interactions will be coded using the PICCOLO-D (Dads' Parenting Interactions with Children Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes).
