The current body of research tells us that responsible and involved fathers help raise healthy children, and positively affect communities as a whole. The research community plays an important role in advancing an understanding of the fatherhood field.
In support of researchers, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) provides resources on new research in the fatherhood field, innovative and effective social programs, timely statistics, and connections to wider community issues, such as domestic violence and incarceration. Fact sheets, library resources, Web pages and program profiles offer insight for researchers looking to examine current findings, shape future research, or compare their own observations.
