Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Coparenting Quality	Up to 2.5 years from baseline	We assessed coparenting relationship quality with the 31-item Coparenting Scale, which was created based on prior work (e.g., Abidin \& Brunner, 1995; Cordova, 2001; Frank, Olmstead, Wagner,\& Laub, 1991; Margolin et al., 2001; McHale, 1997). The overall score represents an average of items covering theoretically important domains: coparental agreement, support,undermining, and exposure of the child to conflict.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Aggressive Parenting	Up to 2.5 years after baseline	Aggressive parenting was measured using Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales (Straus et al., 1998).
