Study of Separated Fathers - UK only we're afraid!

Dr Helen Barrett says about the study:

"As part of the Families at the Millenium Project, Birkbeck College at the University of London are doing a study of separated fathers.

"It involves fathers no longer living with the mother of their children. We would like to include fathers in as wide a range of situations as possible, from those with full-time care of all their children to those who have lost contact. We would also like to include fathers whose children are now grown up.

"The survey booklet contains questions mainly focused on current contact with children and fathers' satisfaction with this. It also asks for some demographic information and some general questions about fathers' satisfaction with parenting. We are also interviewing a small proportion of men to find out about their experiences in more detail.
