What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Father Factor curricula, The New Playbook curricula, Money Smart curricula, job readiness support, and post-employment support
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could point toward effective ways to support fathers in strengthening family relationships and achieving economic stability.
What could go wrong: This is a completed program evaluation without a control group, so results may not prove the program caused the improvements. Outcomes are based on self-reports, which can be biased.
