Latino Fathering Motivations Qualitative Codebook

A qualitative codebook developed from n = 85 U.S. Latino/Hispanic first-time fathers of 18-month old children participating in the Baby Books 2 parenting intervention. During a home visit, fathers were asked the question: "What makes you want to be a good parent?" and responses were video-recorded and transcribed by Spanish-English bilingual research assistants. A team of five researchers used thematic analysis to analyze the transcript data and produce the codebook, capturing emergent themes and subthemes regarding fathers' motivations to be good parents. This research was supported by a grant awarded to Dr. Natasha Cabrera and Dr. Stephanie Reich by the National Institute of Child Health and Development #R01HD078547-05, and the Faculty-Student Research Award from the University of Maryland Graduate School awarded to Dr. Natasha Cabrera and Rachel Ghosh. notReviewed
