AbstractThis study used the data from 64 nonresidential fathers who had their children placed in foster care to describe their characteristics. The survey included questions about demographic background and personal challenges, the father's involvement with his child in foster care, the father's relationship with the mother, barriers to the father's involvement, and the relationship with child welfare agencies and workers. The average age of the participants was about 39 years, and the majority of them were African American. About 70% of the fathers reported low levels of education. Almost 69% of fathers reported frequent face‐to‐face contact with their children. On average, the participants were arrested 2.6 times, and it ranged from 0 to 34. More research is necessary to learn more about these fathers, develop programs to help them become a viable source for permanency option, and become more involved in their children's lives.

AbstractLimited understandings exist about non‐resident fathers' views of their involvement with their children in foster care placements. Guided by the ecological systems framework, the purpose of this exploratory study was to gain insights into fathers' perceptions of their involvement with a child in foster care. Data were collected from demographic questionnaires and two focus groups with 17 men. Fathers expressed how kinship compared with non‐kinship placements affected their involvement. Fathers were also in agreement that their financial hardships were a significant factor affecting their involvement. Several fathers also reported how they experienced discrimination in the child welfare system as men. Surprisingly, uncommon to findings from other studies, few men viewed the child's mother as being a barrier to their involvement. The findings provide insights into factors requiring attention to help non‐residential fathers become involved with their children.

The aim of this study is to explore the attitudes, cultural norms, and social factors among South African black men who have sex with men ( msm ) residing in the Eastern Cape in the context of hiv sexual risk behavior. Data were collected from demographic questionnaires and six focus group discussions with 41 men residing in the cities of East London and Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Participants were in agreement that many black South Africans in their locality view homosexuality as something that Western whites do, and that South African black msm are generally not open about their sexual identity. Participants expressed, "our village is watching," as a concern among some South African black msm for not being open about being gay and their same sex sexual orientation. The findings provide additional insights into the nature of hiv risk behavior of South African black msm , and offer considerations for future research and intervention efforts.
