The overall evaluation plan for the Growing Responsible Fathers program (Fatherhood PRIDE) will utilize both a process evaluation and an outcomes evaluation, and will include both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Pre- and post-test surveys will be used to measure short-term outcomes outlined in the logic model including whether or not there has been an increase in self-efficacy and knowledge related to personal finance, parent engagement, healthy relationships, and education. Pre-test surveys will be administered at intake and/or prior to program activity and post-test surveys will be conducted at the conclusion of the program activity.

Pre-test surveys will be administered at intake and/or prior to program activity and post-test surveys will be conducted at the conclusion of the program activity.
Intermediate outcomes will be measured using a follow-up survey at six (6) months after completing the primary components of the program. The follow-up surveys will be administered via a variety of methods in order to increase response rates and will measure outcomes identified in the logic model such as knowledge and self-efficacy.
Additional attempts will be made online through an email invitation as well as with phone calls. Center for Community Initiatives staff will be responsible for conducting the follow-up surveys with the program participants. Focus groups will be conducted with a volunteer sample of participants at the end of their program workshops to assess satisfaction with the program, what worked, and what could be improved.

Do Community participants who complete the program increase self-efficacy to pay for child support as measured by pre/post test. The outcome measure will be a total of six scores (range 0-100) to statements related to paying child support.
Time frame: Post test after 4-6 week program (community)
Increased engagement
Do Community Participants who complete the program increase self reported engagement with their children as measured by pre/post test.
