This study presents an analysis of young Hispanic fathers' involvement with their children during and following a fatherhood program. It was conducted through a teen parenting program and uses a nonprobability sample of young men who volunteered for the program. Results indicated that father involvement increased steadily and significantly from the program pretest to 2 years post program, there were no differences between father involvement for male and female children, and younger fathers differed from older fathers in their involvement with their children. Despite a number of study shortcomings, results bolster the argument that parenting programs are needed and useful, and highlight the need for more research on Hispanic parenting. Public policy implications and suggestions for further research are included.
