摘要：

The authors present the voices of 20 low-income fathers, all participants in a Responsible Fatherhood (RF) program in a large ill-ball area. A hermeneutic phenonlenological methodology was used to document participants' memories of becotning fathers, explain participants' perceptions of the benefits and the barriers to remaining involved with the program, and share participants' suggestions for program improvement. The results provide a preliminary evaluation of the program's services, and we discuss how these findings are helpful to future programmatic and policy initiatives.
