Engaging Fathers in Home Visitation: Incorporation of a Coparenting Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Family Foundations coparenting program and Home visiting for Interparental Conflict and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 320 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Family Foundations that is to be delivered concurrently with home visiting. Delivered prenatally and postnatally, Family Foundations is a coparenting prevention program for new mothers and fathers that is designed to optimize child outcomes by teaching parents how to work together in raising their child. Using a randomized clinical trial design, families will be assigned to receive Family Foundations + home visiting or home visiting alone. A comprehensive assessment is administered at baseline and then at post-intervention, and 9 and 18 months later. It is hypothesized that families receiving Family Foundations will improve in their resolving of conflict from pre-intervention through follow-up. Additional anticipated outcomes are that those receiving the intervention will have more involved fathers, mothers and fathers will report less conflict, and children will have better emotional and behavioral outcomes relative to those who receive home visiting alone.
