Nonresident Father Involvement and Child Well-Being
Overview
The Nonresident Father Involvement and Child Well-Being project, a five-year study funded by NICHD, draws on the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, the National Survey of Families and Households, and the Child Development Supplement to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The study's objectives are (1) to better understand how nonresident fathers participate in the lives of children and how paternal participation varies by characteristics that represent the increasing diversity of families in the U.S.; and (2) to assess the importance of nonresident father involvement for child well-being and to determine the contexts in which such involvement is most beneficial to children.
