    Title: Home Visiting: Approaches to Father Engagement and Father's 
Experiences.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data 
collection activity as part of the Home Visiting: Approaches to Father 
Engagement and Father's Experiences study. This study will document 
strategies used by selected home visiting programs to engage and serve 
fathers and the perceptions and experience of participating fathers. 
The findings will be of utility for many home visiting programs that 
desire to increase the active engagement of fathers to support the 
positive development of children as well as to organizations which 
provide oversight and technical assistance to home visiting programs. 
Through semi-structured discussions, respondents will be asked to 
comment on the most important strategies to support and facilitate 
fathers' participation.
    Respondents: Administrators and key staff of selected home visiting 
programs, home visitors, and selected participating fathers and 
mothers.
