- Fathers' engagement with children is crucial for children's optimal development. By randomly assigning 289 low-income families into the father-only intervention group, the couples' intervention group, or the control group, the study examined the effectiveness of a parenting education program on family relationships and child outcomes. Results revealed that the interventions were helpful for increasing family well-being.
