| Abstract: | For decades, researchers have struggled to assess the characteristics and lived experiences of low-income men on the margins of their families. Recent initiatives, such as the Fatherhood Research Initiative, the DADS project, and related multi-site evaluations, have resulted in promising longitudinal data on low-income men's parenting behavior and subsequent effects on their children's development and well-being. However, limitations that linger in this research urge consideration of new approaches to the study of low-income fatherhood. In this chapter we identify four areas for critical consideration in research on low-income fathers and their children. We explore the range of qualitative tools that are available to address these challenges and discuss potential methodological innovations, including mixed methodological and multidisciplinary approaches in the study of low-income fathering.
