Mission: Dad

Partnership/Type: Air Force
Status: Completed Project

Mission: Dad is an interactive online program intended to support fathers’ engagement with their young children. It includes information on child development, ideas on fun activities and games for fathers to play with their children, resources to track child development, and a platform for multimedia engagement among caregivers. The Clearinghouse worked with partners to develop the web-based application for the program, and is currently conducting a study to determine usability and user satisfaction. The goal is to understand how fathers engage with the program, which individual components are most used, and fathers’ sentiments on the program as a whole.
