Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Family Studies (Health and Human Services).
Concerns over the roles, expectations, and responsibilities of fathers are rising among scholars, policymakers, and the public. The outlook of fatherhood is changing socially, as well as in families. The current study examines the personal experiences with fatherhood for Appalachian, rural, low-income mothers. Data were collected through Rural Families Speak (RFS), a longitudinal multimethod project examining family well-being in the context of welfare reform. This qualitative study focuses on the data collected in counties located in West Virginia and Kentucky, consisting of 44 rural, Appalachian, low-income mothers. Findings will have implications for future scholarship on fathers in low-income families and will aid practitioners who work with rural, low-income families.
