Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This feasibility and acceptability study will compare in-person to web-based parenting education for adolescent fathers on the outcomes of parenting confidence and participation in parenting activities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized feasibility and acceptability study using a block generator for randomization of participants aged 15 to 21 into either in-person parenting education or on-line parenting. Outcome measures include parenting self-efficacy and participation in daily parenting activities. Participants will take part in approximately twelve hours of parenting education, whether in-person or on-line. Recruitment flyers will be placed in two primary care clinics and a large regional hospital's Labor \& Delivery and Postpartum (Mother-Baby) Units. Participants will seek out the opportunity to participate by calling the phone number or sending an e-mail to the investigators to learn more about the study and their potential participation. If participants meet eligibility criteria and elect to participate, baseline measurements will be completed after enrollment, with follow-up measures at one month and two months.
