Summary

This study looked at whether adding 10 hours of domestic violence prevention (Ray of Hope) to a standard fatherhood program helps dads become better parents and partners. 748 fathers in Dallas took part. The study measured changes in parenting, co-parenting, and partner relationships six months after the program started.

What this could mean

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding domestic violence prevention to fatherhood programs helps dads build healthier relationships with their kids and partners.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are available. However, it only looked at short-term changes (6 months) and may not apply to all fathers or communities.
