Data came from the 2010 Minnesota Student Survey of 9th and 12th grade students. Latent class analysis derived a set of four classes reflecting unique patterns of eight behaviors: maladaptive dieting, prescription drug misuse, illegal drug use, marijuana use, problem drinking, risky sexual behavior, perpetration of interpers…
Effect of Low-Income Unmarried Fathers' Presence at Birth on Involvement
The birth of a child represents a unique window of opportunity to understand and support ongoing father involvement among low-income unmarried parents. Using data collected as part of a randomized controlled trial of a community-based home visiting intervention provided to 248 low-income African American women, a propensity score matching approach was used to estimate the effect of fathers' presence at birth on multiple measures of later father i…
Father Participation in a Community‐doula Home‐visiting Intervention With Young, African American Mothers
This article examines the extent and nature of father participation in a perinatal, community‐based doula home‐visiting intervention that served young, African American mothers from low‐income backgrounds and their infants. Home‐visitor service records were used to assess the quantity, setting, and content of father‐attended visits. Correlates of fathers’ participation and thematic insights from mothers’ and home‐visitors’ perspectives on how fat…
Promoting Positive Mother–Infant Relationships
Doulas, whose traditional role is to support women during labor and delivery, are being increasingly utilized within community‐based programs where a primary goal is supporting mother–infant relationships. The present study investigated the effect of doula services on parenting among young, low‐income mothers. A total of 248 pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive either doula services or routine medical and social services. The doulas p…
Domain-Specific Trajectories of Involvement Among Fathers of Children Born to Young, Low-Income, African American Mothers
Although research on low-income, nonresidential fathers is expanding, fathers’ involvement with their children over time has mainly been studied using composite measures of involvement. This study examines 3 domains of father involvement (financial support, child care, decision making) with a sample of young, low-income African American mothers (N = 248). These domains are examined separately to assess the extent to which unique patterns and pred…
