Pregnancy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Study of the Effects of the Becoming Parents Program on Couples Becoming Parents for the First Time
The primary aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of the Becoming Parents
Program--a couple focused educational program for couples having a first child--on
individual and couple well being and the parent-infant relationship over the first three
years of parenthood.
Other aims of this study are to evaluate the cost of implementing the Becoming Parents
Program; to describe changes in individual and couple well-being over time, viewing the
transition to parenthood from a developmental perspective using data from the control group;
examine the various variables in the study over time from pregnancy through three years
post-birth.
The transition to parenthood is extremely difficult for both mothers and fathers, yet
education and support during this major life transition emphasize getting through labor and
birth, rather than preparing couples for the many changes accompanying parenthood. The
classes of the Becoming Parents Program provide information and skills for taking care of
the couple relationship, taking care of self, interacting with the baby, and the many ways
becoming parents changes peoples' lives.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Becoming Parents Program classes
on individual well being (measured by symptoms of depression and stress, perceived health,
risk behaviors, health practices, health resource utilization), couple well-being (measured
by marital satisfaction and stability), and the parent-infant relationship (measured by
observation of the mother feeding the baby and the father teaching the baby) over the first
three years of parenthood. Information is gathered by paper-and-pencil questionnaires during
pregnancy, and at six months, one year, two years, and three years post-birth and by
observation of parent-infant interaction at three months post-birth and videotaping and
coding of couple interaction at six months post-birth.
Hypotheses are that couples who receive the Becoming Parents Program classes as compared to
the couples who do not will:
1. have higher levels of marital satisfaction
2. have lower levels of depression
3. have less symptoms of stress
4. have higher levels of marital stability
5. communicate more effectively about a problem issue
6. have higher levels of health and well-being
7. score higher on observational evaluations of parent-infant interaction
8. report they are more satisfied with parenting, their partner's involvement in parenting
their child, and with who does what in their family
