Abstract Fathers are disproportionately involved in and responsible for child maltreatment and violence directed toward children and family members, as the average amount of time spent with their children each day is less than that of mothers (Hoffreth et al., 2002; Straus et al., 1998). Forty percent of maltreatment cases include the child's father (US DHHS, 2011), which is actually quite considerable when one considers mothers spend more time with the child during the day and engage in a greater variety of activities, relative to fathers. Contrary to these potential negative impacts, fathers contribute positively to many aspects of child development and overall family functioning, making unique contributions to child peer relationships, language development, academic skills, and the proficiency of the other parent in parenting tasks. There are many potential prevention programs that have been developed to support male caregivers, including the Nurturing Fathers program (Bavolek, Comstock, & McLaughlin, 1983) and the Coaching Our Children: Heightening Essential Skills program (COACHES; Caserta Fabiano et al., 2018; Chacko, Fabiano, et al., 2017; Fabiano et al., 2012; Fabiano et al., 2009) are two examples of father-focused preventive intervention efforts. However, these approaches have not typically been evaluated as preventive interventions in community-based samples using scientifically rigorous methods (e.g., Smith et al., 2015). Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches in reducing family violence and improving male caregiver competencies in a randomized, controlled trial. One hundred forty-four male caregivers of a 3-6 year old child will be randomly assigned to (1) the Nurturing Fathers program (N=48); (2) Nurturing Fathers + COACHES integrated (N=48); or (3) an attention control (N=48). Participants will engage in eight weeks of prevention intervention and then have evaluations at post-treatment and 1-month follow-up.

抽象的 父亲过多地参与虐待儿童和针对儿童的暴力行为并对其负责 儿童和家庭成员，因为每天与孩子在一起的平均时间少于 母亲的情况（Hoffreth 等，2002；Straus 等，1998）。百分之四十的虐待案件包括 孩子的父亲（美国 DHHS，2011），当考虑到母亲花费更多时，这实际上是相当可观的 与父亲相比，白天有更多时间陪伴孩子并参与更多种类的活动。与此相反 这些潜在的负面影响，父亲对儿童发展的许多方面做出了积极贡献， 整体家庭功能，对儿童同伴关系、语言发展做出独特贡献， 学术技能，以及另一方父母在养育任务方面的熟练程度。有很多潜在的预防措施 为支持男性照顾者而制定的计划，包括养育父亲计划 （Bavolek、Comstock 和 McLaughlin，1983）以及《辅导我们的孩子：提高基本技能》 计划（COACHES；Caserta Fabiano 等人，2018 年；Chacko、Fabiano 等人，2017 年；Fabiano 等人，2012 年； Fabiano 等人，2009）是以父亲为中心的预防性干预工作的两个例子。然而，这些 通常并未将这些方法评估为基于社区的样本中的预防性干预措施 科学严谨的方法（例如，Smith 等人，2015）。因此，本研究旨在评估 这些方法在减少家庭暴力和提高男性照顾者能力方面的有效性 随机对照试验。随机抽取 144 名 3-6 岁儿童的男性看护者 分配给 (1) 培育父亲计划 (N=48)； (2) 养父+教练综合（N=48）； 或（3）注意力控制（N=48）。参与者将进行八周的预防干预，然后 在治疗后和1个月的随访中进行评估。
