Replication Data for \"Impact Evaluation of a Father Engagement Model in the Home Visiting Humanitarian Play Lab (HPL) Program in Rohingya Camps and Host Community in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh\"

This repository includes all the data and scripts used to answer the primary research questions of the father engagement study. The intervention assessed in this study is an added component to an intervention implemented by BRAC- IED that has been working with mothers of 0-2 year old children to maximize positive outcomes of child development. The objectives of this added component are to promote fathers’ wellbeing by improving their emotional literacy, encourage fathers to develop relationships with their spouses and children, and encourage responsive caregiving practices among fathers (BRAC & Sesame Workshop, 2022). The primary research questions are: what is the added impact of father home visits and groups on father engagement (e.g. activities with their children), perceptions of learning and play, and attitudes and caregiver well-being, above and beyond group visits conducted with only mothers? The study was led by New York University’s Global TIES for Children in collaboration with: 1) BRAC-IED who created and implemented the intervention in Bangladesh. 2) ARCED Foundation who led data collection and field supervision. 3) Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education at the University of Pennsylvania who conducted the cost-effectiveness analysis. 4) International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh who supported the training and quality assurance for child development assessments. The project was part of the Play to Learn initiative, funded by the LEGO Foundation and implemented through a global partnership between Sesame Workshop, BRAC, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and New York University.
