Designing and Tailoring Preventive Interventions for Fathers’ Parenting

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Fathers and Child Development

Abstract

Relative to the extant evidence-based parenting, mothering, and co-parenting educational and behavioral parent training programs, very few have been designed incorporating unique characteristics of fathering behaviors, fathering identities, and fathering roles. Using a father-centric perspective, this chapter discusses tailoring and adapting evidence-based behavioral parent training specifically for fathers. The focus is on cognitive and behavioral moderators that can be utilized for adapting curricula and intervention content to be more salient for participating fathers and in turn enhance effectiveness. Adaptive intervention designs are also introduced and illustrated as a rigorous formal way to test modifications to existing programs specifically for fathers.
