Abstract: Concludes that Early Head Start's measurement of father involvement improves on past methodologies in at least four ways: 1) it collects data from the fathers themselves; 2) it uses a variety of methods (surveys, open-ended questions, videotape) to assess quantitative and qualitative aspects of involvement; 3) it samples low-income families from diverse family structures and ethnic backgrounds; and 4) it collects extensive data from mothers, children, programs, and communities.
