Get the Facts

When fathers are involved, responsible, and committed, children (and moms!) are happier and healthier. Here are the facts:

  • Infant mortality rates are 1.8 times higher for infants of unmarried mothers than for married mothers.

  • Toddlers living in step-families and single-parent families were more likely to suffer a burn, have a bad fall, or be scarred from an accident.

  • Children who live apart from their fathers are more likely to be diagnosed with asthma even after taking into account demographic and socioeconomic conditions.

  • Single mothers report higher levels of stress, fewer contacts with family and friends, less involvement with church or social groups and less overall social support.

Help create a healthy future for our nation's children and families.  Get started with our Healthcare Programming today!
