This paper reports on the effects on parenting and on children’s mental health problems and competencies from a randomized trial of a parenting program for divorced and separated fathers. The program, NBP-Dads, includes ten group sessions (plus two phone sessions) which promote parenting skills to increase positive interactions with children, improve father-child communication, use of effective discipline strategies, and skills to protect children from exposure to interparental conflict. The program was adapted from the New Beginnings Program, which has been tested in two randomized trials with divorced mothers and shown to strengthen mothers’ parenting and improve long-term outcomes for children. Fathers were randomly assigned to receive either NBP-Dads or a two-session active comparison program. The sample consisted of 384 fathers (201 NBP-Dads, 183 comparison) and their children. Assessments using father, youth and teacher reports were conducted at pretest, posttest and ten-month follow-up. Results indicated positive effects of NBP-Dads to strengthen parenting as reported by fathers and youth at posttest and ten-month follow-up. Program effects to reduce child internalizing problems and increase social competence were found at ten months. Many of the program effects were moderated by baseline level of the variable, child age, gender, and father ethnicity. This is the first randomized trial to find significant effects to strengthen father parenting following divorce. In view of recent changes in family courts to allot fathers increasing amounts of parenting time following divorce, the results have significant implications for improving outcomes for children from divorced families.
