To members of the FRPN List-Serve:

 

My name is Craig Garfield and I am a pediatrician and father involvement researcher at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

 

I am inviting all fathers of children between the ages of 3 to 5 (or organizations that work with fathers) to participate in a survey on father involvement in child healthcare.  Our goal is to better understand how today’s fathers are involved in the health of their children.

 

The purpose of the Northwestern IRB-approved, Fathers' Involvement in Healthcare Study (IRB: STU00200222) is to develop a quantitative, self-report measure of father involvement in toddler health. Fathers will be asked to complete a set of questionnaire items online that assess their direct involvement in toddler health.

 

Participants will be asked to:

  • Complete a 5-10 minute online survey
  • Participate in a 30-40 minute phone interview at thier convenience.
  •  All eligible fathers who complete both tasks will receive a $20 Amazon gift card.

If you would like to participate, follow this link to our study website: Fatherinvolvement.weebly.com

 

Please forward this link to your network of fathers who may be interested. I have also attached our study flyer.

 

The final goal is to develop a new survey that can be used to measure how diverse fathers care for their children's health. Your participation in the survey is essential to support and improve father involvement efforts.

 

For more information, please contact me at (312) 503-5463 or email me at c-garfield@northwestern.edu

 

Sincerely,


Craig
