NCT ID: NCT03097991
Last Updated: 2022-12-15
Results Overview
Composite of SCID observational measures of positive mother-father interaction (Problem Solving Communication\*\*, Support\*\*, Cohesiveness\*, Withdrawal\*\*, Positive Affect\*\*) \* Couple variable, there is only one score for the couple. \*\* Individual variable, there are two separate scores for mothers and fathers separately. Each sub-scale scores range from 1 to 5. Total scale scores were combined by averaging the individual and couple scales, with higher scores indicating more positive patterns in couple interaction (total scale score range 1-5). Change from Prenatal to 3 months post-partum is evaluated.

Intervention: Treatment as Usual + Focused Coparenting Consult
Receipt of Treatment As Usual/Resource and Referral supports, plus opportunity to complete six 90-minute Focused Coparenting Consultation (FCC) sessions followed by one postnatal booster session designed to strengthen the mother-father coparenting alliance
Focused Coparenting Consultation: Six 90-minute sessions completed within 10 weeks address importance of coparenting for child development; overcoming challenges to coparenting collaboratively; anger and conflict management and communication skills. Parents develop a coparenting plan to support one another's involvement as parents to the baby. A 90-minute booster session one month after the baby's birth reinforces lessons learned in the 6-session intervention.

Timeframe: 12 months post-partumItems are rated on the following 3-point scale: (0) Not true/rarely, (1) Somewhat true/sometimes, and (2) Very true/often. A "No opportunity" code allows parents to indicate that they have not had the opportunity to observe certain behaviors (e.g., behavior with peers). Scores on Negative Emotionality scale which includes 13 items range from 0 to 26 with higher scores are considered indicative of a deficit or delay.

Timeframe: 12 months post-partumItems are rated on the following 3-point scale: (0) Not true/rarely, (1) Somewhat true/sometimes, and (2) Very true/often. A "No opportunity" code allows parents to indicate that they have not had the opportunity to observe certain behaviors (e.g., behavior with peers). Scores on the Aggression Scale which includes 12 items range from 0 to 24 and higher scores are considered indicative of a deficit or delay.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 12 months post-partumThis self report consists of 34 items on which the parent reports the frequency with which the father was engaged in various activities with the child in the past month. Questions were answered on a Likert-type scale from 1 (more than once a day) to 6 (not at all); all items were reverse scored such that higher scores reflect more frequent activity. Father engagement is assessed across six sub-scales (Socialization - 11 items, Management- 3 items, Didactic - 7 items, Physical play/warmth - 6 items, Caregiving - 7 items) with composite scores computed by averaging responses across items. Scores range from 34 to 204 for the total scale. Higher scores reflect more frequent activity with the child.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 12 months compared to 3 monthsPopulation: Parents dyads with their infants were analyzed. The triad is the unit of analysis, and thus the Overall Number of Participants reflects the total of father+mother+child participants - number of triads times the three participants in each family unit.
To assess infant triangular capacities, multi-shift gaze patterns in which infant looks from one parent to another, and then rapidly redirects gaze back to the first parent after having shifted once were counted. Four categories of triangular bids were defined, which corresponded to the different affective configurations: triangular engagement (TE), triangular monitoring (TM), triangular tension (TT), and triangular protest (TP). When the affective configurations addressed to the parents were not in the same category, the one addressed to P2 was selected as determinant of the triangular bid category.

Intervention: Treatment as Usual + Focused Coparenting Consult
n=140 participants at risk
Receipt of Treatment As Usual/Resource and Referral supports, plus opportunity to complete six 90-minute Focused Coparenting Consultation (FCC) sessions followed by one postnatal booster session designed to strengthen the mother-father coparenting alliance
Focused Coparenting Consultation: Six 90-minute sessions completed within 10 weeks address importance of coparenting for child development; overcoming challenges to coparenting collaboratively; anger and conflict management and communication skills. Parents develop a coparenting plan to support one another's involvement as parents to the baby. A 90-minute booster session one month after the baby's birth reinforces lessons learned in the 6-session intervention.
