Intervention Group
Couples randomly assigned to the Intervention Group received the Family Foundations Coparenting Program.
Family Foundations Coparenting Program
Family Foundations, a program for adult couples expecting their first child, is designed to help them establish positive parenting skills and adjust to the physical, social, and emotional challenges of parenthood. Program topics include coping with postpartum depression and stress, creating a caring environment, and developing the child's social and emotional competence.
Family Foundations is delivered to groups of couples through four prenatal and four postnatal classes of 2 hours each. Prenatal classes are started during the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy, and the postnatal classes end when the children are 6 months old.
Family Foundations is delivered in a community setting by childbirth educators who have received 3 days of training from Family Foundations staff.
