Abstract: This report reviews the activities of a workshop "America's Fathers: Abiding and Emerging Roles in Family and Economic Support Policies (Washington, D.C., September 26-28, 1993). The workshop focused on the role of fathers in the American family, especially on issues related to child support, teenage fathers, fathers of children with disabilities, and inner-city poor fathers. The workshop sought to: (1) advance understanding of factors that facilitate or inhibit fathers' participation in programs designed to provide support for families; (2) document and integrate what is known about the effects of family and economic support policies on fathers' involvement, or lack thereof, with their children; (3) identify mismatches between the knowledge base and assumptions embedded in both current and proposed public policies; and (4) frame questions for research to better inform family and economic support policies. The report addresses public policy initiatives related to child support enforcement, establishment of paternity, child support assurance, custody, fathers' rights, young fatherhood programs, and teenage fatherhood prevention. It concludes by highlighting the importance of adopting a life-span perspective on fathering, approaching fathering as a negotiated role, considering the community context of fathering, and contributing to the development of innovative programs and policies for fathers. An appendix contains the workshop agenda. (Contains 113 references.) (MDM)
