Father Michael Pfleger and The Faith Community of St. Sabina's African American Speakers Series presents Common Friday, March 20, 2015 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm 1210 West 78th Place Chicago, Illinois Free PARTICIPATE IN THE D.A.A.D. STUDY Are you a father of a child age 2-5? Are you African-American? Do you live apart from your child? Do you want to participate in a fatherhood program for African-American fathers? This Research Study is Just for Fathers! What? Nurse researchers at Rush University Medical Center will be testing 2 programs that are meant to help fathers who don't live with their young children to be really great fathers. Even though you don't live with your child on a full time basis, we know that your children are important to you. We also know that children need the positive and consistent involvement of their fathers. This program is intended to give fathers knowledge and skills that will help you maintain a strong, loving and consistent relationship with your young child. Commitment Be randomly assigned to participate in one of the 2 programs. Attend 10 group- meetings with other fathers over the next 3 months. Groups will be held in the community at nearby Community Colleges. Complete study questions 3 times while you are in the study (before the groups start, at the end of the groups, and again 3 months later). Benefits Fathers will receive a $40 gift card for completing study questions ($120 total). Group meetings with other fathers will include a meal and transportation reimbursement. Fathers will have the chance to share their experiences being a father with other fathers. Fathers will learn more about preparing themselves to be strong and effective fathers for their children. If you are interested in this research study, give us a call on the D.A.A.D. study telephone line at (312) 543-3566. A research assistant will contact you.
