Area of Science:

Public Health
Health Communication
Family Support Programs

Background:

Home visitation programs are crucial for supporting families.
Engaging fathers in these programs presents unique challenges.
Innovative communication strategies are needed to enhance father involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development and acceptability of Text4Dad, an interactive text messaging program.
To examine the implementation of Text4Dad within fatherhood programs.
To provide recommendations for using text messaging to support home visiting services.

Main Methods:

Iterative development integrating rapid testing and participant feedback.
Study 1: Online surveys with 171 men to assess Text4Dad content.
Study 2: Case study of 108 fathers in community-based home visiting programs, with content analysis of F-CHW and father interactions.

Main Results:

Fathers reported positive reviews of the Text4Dad content across surveys.
Fatherhood Community Health Workers (F-CHWs) primarily used Text4Dad for information dissemination (e.g., scheduling, events).
Bidirectional interaction between F-CHWs and fathers via Text4Dad was limited.

Conclusions:

Text messaging programs like Text4Dad show feasibility for supporting home visiting services.
Recommendations are provided for social service and maternal/child health providers.
Optimizing bidirectional communication within text messaging interventions is an area for future development.
