DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Policy makers and others are concerned that many young men today are only loosely attached to their children and their children's mothers. This concern has been fueled by rising rates of non-marital childbearing, delays in the age of marriage, increases in the share of children being raised in female-headed families, and the failure of some biological fathers to provide economic support to their children. The aim of this proposal is to form a multi-disciplinary team of research collaborators who will meet on a regular basis to plan and conduct coordinated analyses on topics relating to the transition to fatherhood using multiple data sets. The four projects included in this proposal address the following related issues: 1. What are the economic, policy, psychological, and sociological factors that influence the timing of biological fatherhood and the circumstances under which fatherhood occurs? What is the role of men in the timing and circumstances of sexual initiation, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and childbearing? 2. What is the relationship between the transition to biological fatherhood and other transitions to adulthood, such as marriage, educational completion, and entry into the workforce? 3. What are the determinants of responsible fathering, and, in particular, what is the role of family process within and across generations? 4. What are the social, economic, policy, relationship and individual factors associated with men having additional births after they have already become fathers, and what factors lead men to have additional births, with more than one partner? Each project will conduct parallel analyses across multiple data sets, and similar data sets will be used across many of the projects. The data sets used in the four projects include National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and 1979; Add Health; National Survey of Adolescent Males; National Survey of Family Growth; Fragile Families; Early Head Start; Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort; National Survey of Families and Households; Panel Study of Income Dynamics-CDS. Our strategy will enable us to obtain a much fuller understanding of the factors that influence the transition to fatherhood. We also propose two infrastructure cores: (A) Administration and Dissemination and (B) Data Management and Methodology.

描述（由申请人提供）：政策制定者和其他人担心当今许多年轻人对孩子和孩子母亲的依恋很松散。非婚生育率上升、结婚年龄推迟、女性户主家庭抚养子女比例增加以及一些亲生父亲未能为其子女提供经济支持等因素加剧了这种担忧。该提案的目的是组建一个由研究合作者组成的多学科团队，他们将定期开会，利用多个数据集就与向父亲过渡相关的主题进行规划和协调分析。该提案中包含的四个项目解决了以下相关问题： 1. 影响亲生父亲的时间和父亲发生的环境的经济、政策、心理和社会因素有哪些？男性在性行为开始的时间和环境、避孕药具的使用、怀孕和生育方面扮演什么角色？ 2. 向亲生父亲的转变与向成年的其他转变（例如结婚、完成学业和进入劳动力市场）之间有什么关系？ 3. 负责任的父亲的决定因素是什么，特别是家庭进程在代内和代际之间的作用是什么？ 4. 与已成为父亲的男性多生育相关的社会、经济、政策、关系和个人因素有哪些？哪些因素导致男性多生育且有多个伴侣？每个项目将跨多个数据集进行并行分析，并且许多项目将使用相似的数据集。这四个项目使用的数据集包括 1997 年和 1979 年全国青年纵向调查；增加健康；全国青少年男性调查；全国家庭成长调查；脆弱的家庭；尽早开始；早期儿童纵向研究，出生队列；全国家庭调查；收入动态的小组研究-CDS。我们的策略将使我们能够更全面地了解影响向父亲过渡的因素。我们还提出了两个基础设施核心：(A) 管理和传播以及 (B) 数据管理和方法。
