There is a need to better understand the broader impact of father-focused, healthy lifestyle programs from the perspectives of other family members. This qualitative study explored the impact of a HDHK by gathering insights from the family unit (fathers, mothers/partners and children). Fathers and children who participated in the HDHK dissemination trial from the Maitland local government area (New South Wales, Australia) (n = 33) and all mothers/partners of participating HDHK were invited to take part in this qualitative study. Eleven focus groups were undertaken with 25 fathers (41.9 ± 6.3 years, 32.4 ± 5.1 kg/m2), 15 mothers/partners’ (38.1 ± 6.6 years), and 41 children (51% male, 8.2 ± 2.1 years). Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a standard general inductive approach to qualitative analysis with thematic analysis applied. Three key themes emerged, demonstrating several personal and family program impacts. These included a positive impact on: (i) the father-child relationship, (ii) new family habits (e.g., lifestyle changes within the family unit) and (iii) fathers’ involvement and parenting practices (e.g., increase in fathers’ household responsibilities). Improving the knowledge and skills of fathers and children through evidence-based strategies may be a useful approach to strengthen their relationship, enhance parenting strategies, and optimize health behaviors. Notably, findings showed the changes made by the fathers and children positively impacted the wider family unit.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:58:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53963 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:39:20 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54240 Tue 13 Feb 2024 13:19:59 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39906 SD) age: 41.4 (4.8) years) participated in semi-structured telephone interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a mixed inductive and deductive thematic approach. Seven themes were identified highlighting improvements in: (i) daughters’ social-emotional well-being, (ii) father involvement and engagement with their daughter, (iii) fathers’ parenting skills, (iv) the father–daughter relationship, (v) co-parenting, (vi) family relationship dynamics, and (vii) knowledge and understanding of gender stereotypes and gender bias. A number of strategies were also identified as to how the program improved these outcomes. Engaging fathers and daughters in physical activity programs may have substantive benefits for daughters’ mental health as well as broader outcomes for fathers and families. Enhancing fathers’ and daughters’ knowledge and skills through evidence-based strategies may be a useful approach to optimize the well-being of families.]]> Tue 05 Sep 2023 14:58:55 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34473 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:22:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33386 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:39:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48087 Thu 16 Mar 2023 10:16:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4322 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:14:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6983 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7125 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21486 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5555 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6287 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5903 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32792 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:00:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32762 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:48:42 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49955 Fri 16 Jun 2023 15:20:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41524 n = 40) completed an Implicit Association Test and explicit attitude measures pre- and post-course. Focus group interviews were conducted with preservice and inservice teachers (n = 24). Preservice teachers reduced their negative implicit and explicit attitudes towards girls and activity. Preservice and inservice teachers also improved their awareness and gained skills to address gender-related issues in schools. Targeted teacher education courses have the potential to improve gender equity in schools.]]> Fri 05 Aug 2022 12:24:25 AEST ]]>
