DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Policy makers and others are concerned that many young men today are only loosely attached to their children and their children's mothers. This concern has been fueled by rising rates of non-marital childbearing, delays in the age of marriage, increases in the share of children being raised in female-headed families, and the failure of some biological fathers to provide economic support to their children. The aim of this proposal is to form a multi-disciplinary team of research collaborators who will meet on a regular basis to plan and conduct coordinated analyses on topics relating to the transition to fatherhood using multiple data sets. The four projects included in this proposal address the following related issues: 1. What are the economic, policy, psychological, and sociological factors that influence the timing of biological fatherhood and the circumstances under which fatherhood occurs? What is the role of men in the timing and circumstances of sexual initiation, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and childbearing? 2. What is the relationship between the transition to biological fatherhood and other transitions to adulthood, such as marriage, educational completion, and entry into the workforce? 3. What are the determinants of responsible fathering, and, in particular, what is the role of family process within and across generations? 4. What are the social, economic, policy, relationship and individual factors associated with men having additional births after they have already become fathers, and what factors lead men to have additional births, with more than one partner? Each project will conduct parallel analyses across multiple data sets, and similar data sets will be used across many of the projects. The data sets used in the four projects include National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and 1979; Add Health; National Survey of Adolescent Males; National Survey of Family Growth; Fragile Families; Early Head Start; Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort; National Survey of Families and Households; Panel Study of Income Dynamics-CDS. Our strategy will enable us to obtain a much fuller understanding of the factors that influence the transition to fatherhood. We also propose two infrastructure cores: (A) Administration and Dissemination and (B) Data Management and Methodology.

描述（由申请人提供）：政策制定者和其他人担心，今天许多年轻人只是松散地依附于他们的孩子和孩子的母亲。非婚生育率上升、结婚年龄推迟、女户主家庭抚养的儿童比例增加，以及一些生父未能为子女提供经济支持，都加剧了这一关切。这项建议的目的是建立一个多学科的研究合作者小组，他们将定期开会，利用多个数据集，规划和开展与向父亲过渡有关的专题的协调分析。本提案中的四个项目涉及以下相关问题：1.什么是经济，政策，心理和社会学的因素，影响生物学父亲的时间和条件下，父亲发生？男性在性行为开始、避孕、怀孕和生育的时间和环境中的作用是什么？2.向生物学意义上的父亲身份的过渡与向成年的其他过渡（如结婚、完成教育和进入劳动力市场）之间的关系是什么？3.负责任的父亲的决定因素是什么，特别是家庭过程在几代人之内和之间的作用是什么？4.哪些社会、经济、政策、关系和个人因素与男子在成为父亲后再生育有关，哪些因素导致男子与一个以上的伴侣再生育？每个项目将对多个数据集进行并行分析，许多项目将使用类似的数据集。这四个项目使用的数据集包括：1997年和1979年全国青年纵向调查; Add Health;全国青少年男性调查;全国家庭成长调查;脆弱家庭;早期启蒙;幼儿纵向研究，出生队列;全国家庭和住户调查;收入动态小组研究。我们的战略将使我们能够更充分地了解影响向父亲过渡的因素。我们还提出了两个基础设施核心：（A）管理和传播以及（B）数据管理和方法。
