有父亲参与的育儿方案可以减少虐待儿童和基于性别的暴力。然而，大多数育儿方案发现很难招募父亲。我们在乌干达坎帕拉附近的父母中试行了21次育儿干预，“为尊重而育儿”。最初招募了61名父亲和83名母亲，并保留了52名父亲和76名母亲。我们采访了24位父亲和16位母亲。数据按主题进行分析。成功地让父亲参与的原因可能是：（a）前10次会议只有父亲参加，使他们能够在参加男女混合的会议之前分享经验;（B）利用男子先前存在的改善子女行为的动机，从而提高家庭的体面;（c）互动和参与式的交付。混合会议使夫妇澄清关于配偶关系和性别规范的冲突观点。然而，男子受到社会压力，要他们遵守传统的男子气概，这表明有必要在社区一级灌输干预价值观。
Parenting programmes involving fathers can reduce child maltreatment and gender-based violence. However, most parenting programmes find it difficult to recruit fathers. We piloted a 21 session parenting intervention, 'Parenting for Respectability', with fathers and mothers near Kampala, Uganda. Sixty-one fathers and 83 mothers were recruited initially and 52 fathers and 76 mothers retained to the end. We interviewed with 24 fathers and 16 mothers. Data were analysed thematically. Success in involving fathers was probably due to (a) the first 10 sessions being father-only, allowing them to share experiences before participating in mixed-sex sessions; (b) exploiting men's pre-existing motivation to improve their children's behaviour, thereby enhancing family respectability; and (c) the interactive, participatory delivery. Mixed sessions enabled couples to clarify conflicting perspectives regarding spousal relationships and gendered norms. However, men experienced social pressure to conform to conventional masculinity, suggesting the need to instil intervention values at community level.
