Fathering in a Pandemic Quarantine

Thank you for participating in this landmark study, Fathering in a Pandemic Quarantine. All your responses will be confidential and anonymous.

In order to set a framework for your answers, we request that you follow these general instructions:

If you have more than one child, which is most common, please generalize your response,
even though the question may specify “your child.” In other words, we want your responses
to be a general representation of your fathering.

Give us your raw, unedited first responses to the survey questions.

All the statements and questions are randomized, so please read each one carefully.

We will make the results of the survey available to you once they have been fully analyzed.

At fathers.com, we’re here for dads and we believe you are one of your family’s most valuable resources.
