DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many fathers are unprepared for the stressors accompanying divorce that disrupt their effective parenting skills. Divorce rates remain high and fathers are gaining more custodial responsibilities than in the past, yet divorced fathers remain a vastly underserved population for which very few evidence-based programs even exist. There is great need for more specified work on translating effective programs and technologies for divorced fathers and for underserved Spanish speaking divorced fathers. Quality involvement of divorced fathers is associated with positive cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes for children from infancy to adolescence. Lack of effective programs for divorced fathers and for fathers of diverse backgrounds continues to be a problem. Programs to reduce stress and promote better fathering are vitally important because quality involvement is associated with better-adjusted children, better-adjusted mothers, and reduced co-parental conflict over time. Predicated on evidence-based programs, the central goal of this project is to create an online interactive resource for divorced fathers called Fathering through Change (FTC), a media-intensive skill- building program that will promote quality involvement of fathers with their children. Program content will focus on parenting skills, problem solving and communication skills, emotion regulation, and conflict reduction strategies. Fathering through Change will address a needed gap in community and court systems. Additionally, an identified need and important innovation will be the development of both English and Spanish language versions of the FTC program. Phase I specific aims are to develop the first three program modules, the foundational building blocks for the full program, including components on fathering in the context of divorce, effective limit setting, and regulating emotions. We will produce English and professionally dubbed Spanish versions of Phase I FTC components. Both feasibility of implementation (i.e., acceptability, engagement, fidelity) and feasibility of efficacy will be evaluated with 50 divorced fathers using pre-post assessment of benchmark outcomes. In Phase II we will complete the remaining three modules of FTC in English and Spanish, and will conduct a large-scale randomized control trial comparing of the complete FTC program to a wait-list control group.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多父亲对离婚带来的压力毫无准备，这些压力破坏了他们有效的育儿技巧。离婚率仍然很高，父亲比过去承担了更多的监护责任，但离婚的父亲仍然是一个 服务严重不足的人群，甚至很少有基于证据的计划存在。非常需要为离婚父亲和服务不足的讲西班牙语的离婚父亲翻译有效的方案和技术。离婚父亲的高质量参与与儿童从婴儿期到青春期的积极认知，社会和情感结果相关。缺乏针对离婚父亲和不同背景父亲的有效方案仍然是一个问题。减少压力和促进更好的父亲的计划是至关重要的，因为高质量的参与与更好地适应孩子，更好地适应母亲，并随着时间的推移减少共同父母的冲突。该项目以循证方案为基础，其中心目标是为离婚父亲创建一个名为“通过改变做父亲”的在线互动资源，这是一个媒体密集型技能建设方案，将促进父亲与子女的高质量参与。课程内容将侧重于育儿技巧，解决问题和沟通技巧，情绪调节和减少冲突的策略。通过变革来做父亲将解决社区和法院系统中的一个必要差距。此外，一个确定的需要和重要的创新将是开发公平贸易委员会方案的英文和西班牙文版本。第一阶段的具体目标是开发前三个项目模块，这是完整项目的基础构建模块，包括离婚背景下的父亲责任、有效的限制设定和调节情绪等部分。我们将制作第一阶段FTC组件的英语和专业配音西班牙语版本。实施的可行性（即，可接受性、参与度、忠诚度）和有效性的可行性将使用基准结果的前后评估对50名离婚父亲进行评估。在第二阶段，我们将用英语和西班牙语完成FTC的其余三个模块，并将进行一项大规模的随机对照试验，将完整的FTC计划与等待名单对照组进行比较。
