Change in Knowledge of Infant Development InventoryPrimary· Every 4 weeks up to 16 weeks, including pre-intervention, mid-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up
This 19-item abbreviated version of the inventory assesses accurate knowledge of infant development. The first 11 items are rated as true or false and include questions such as "Babies may cry for 20-30 minutes at a time, no matter how much you try to comfort them" and "Some parents do not bond until their baby starts to smile and look at them." An additional 6 items ask parents to rate whether they think babies can do something at the age listed in the item or whether the developmental task (e.g., "Six-month-olds know what 'no' means.") occurs in younger or older children.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Adverse event data were collected during study surveys at mid-intervention (4 weeks), posttest (8 weeks), and follow-up (12 weeks).
Reporting threshold: 5%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
The project is aimed at meeting the support needs of community fathers who are expecting a baby or who have recently had a baby. This work is being conducted in conjunction with community partners through The Women's Clinic of Northern Colorado (WCNC). Researchers and WCNC staff will work together to develop and implement programs for prenatal and postpartum fathers. Participants will be invited to a group mentoring program and also will be provided access to supplementary educational podcasts focused on topics relevant to prenatal and postpartum fathers. The investigators are seeking to understand what participants like and don't like about the program and how participation in the program affects participants' stress, well-being, and parenting.
