Limited research exists on effective processes for implementing community-based fatherhood programs. Applying an implementation research framework, we interviewed team members of a fatherhood program during initial implementation. Four key factors emerged: (1) development and execution of capacity-building processes, (2) effective communication, (3) program factors, and (4) organizational culture and context. This study may inform future program planning and implementation by centering the shared and distinct perspectives of program leadership, organizational administrators, and frontline providers implementing community-based fatherhood programs.
