This study examined contextual and child-related factors as predictors of father-child closeness among African American and Caribbean Black adolescent boys within the framework of the Responsible Fathering Model. Data included 285 adolescent boys who participated as part of the National Survey of American Life-Adolescent. A multivariable linear regression suggested that perception of income sufficiency, but not actual income, predicted high reports of father-child closeness among Black American adolescent boys. Additionally, younger adolescent boys reported better relationships with their fathers than older adolescent boys. Lastly, African American and Caribbean Black adolescent boys differed in their reported levels of father-child closeness, however the difference attributed to ethnicity did not maintain significance after controlling for additional factors. These results highlight the need for studying the nuance of subcultures with the larger Black community and provide evidence that financial provision, as a part of fathering, relates to stronger father-child relationship across Black communities in the United States.
