Evaluating How Course Modality Influences the Effectiveness of the R3 Academy for Dads

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The Cal-FIRE project is designed to offer the R3 Academy for Dads, a robust 24-hour program, to predominantly low-income adult fathers, ages 18 and over in the state of California. The R3 Academy is an evidence-based parenting curriculum that helps fathers strengthen their relationships with their child, with their spouse/co-parent, and at work. The program also includes two evidence-based components that address economic stability and an innovative approach to Case Management that fosters client self-direction. The R3 Academy curricula will be delivered in both English and Spanish through two modalities: 1) live classes and 2) livestream classes via a video conferencing platform. The Local Evaluation will examine how modality, or in other words attending a live class versus a livestream class, influences the effectiveness of responsible fatherhood education when it comes to father involvement and coparenting. The question of modality is a timely one. In the COVID-19 era, many programs have become exclusively online-but the potential impact on effectiveness is not well known. Data from this study will help illuminate what can be gained or jeopardized in a world increasingly moving toward modes of virtual engagement. Specifically, the current evaluation will explore potential similarities and differences related to the implementation of the two modalities and their influence of father outcomes. Specific research questions include: RQ1: How do live (control) and livestream (treatment) responsible fatherhood workshops compare on father involvement outcomes? RQ2: How do live (control) and livestream (treatment) workshops compare on father involvement outcomes? RQ3: Do program effects last beyond program completion?
