FATHERHOOD & PARENTING

Researchers in the Fatherhood & Parenting Area investigate family relationships that influence a child's development from birth through the transition to adulthood.  We look at fatherhood and marriage to understand the ways in which they affect child well-being.  We also study and provide perpectives on family strengths.
