abstract: 'Objective To understand how low-income men''s views of paternal
responsibility shape their engagement with fatherhood program messages
and services. Background Research on the situated contexts of fathering
has found that the social and symbolic dimensions of fathering spaces
influence how men construct and enact fatherhood scripts. Qualitative
studies of fatherhood programs have mostly investigated parenting
education and job assistance programs, revealing how fathering
interventions allow disadvantaged men to shape positive paternal
identities. Method In-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted
with a nonrandom sample of 64 primarily Black and Latino low-income
fathers who participated in a federally funded responsible fatherhood
program. An inductive coding technique was used to identify reasons men
enrolled, the alignment of program messages with fathers'' views, and how
the program allowed fathers to negotiate obstacles to sustained
involvement. Results Fathers overwhelmingly found the program valuable
because it offered the social and economic means they needed to enact
varied meanings of paternal responsibility-or ``being there.{''''} Most
fathers reported that the program allowed them to realize their
involvement goals, thereby enabling them to better align their paternal
identities and behaviors. Conclusion Fatherhood programming that
promotes a broader idea of paternal provision to include money and care
aligns with how disadvantaged fathers tailor their understandings of
paternal involvement to account for socioeconomic constraints, including
poverty and racism. Implications Fatherhood interventions can influence
disadvantaged men''s abilities to claim and enact responsible parent
identities, but programs must address the importance of resources and
opportunities, including and especially access to well-paid work, for
shaping paternal involvement.'
