Group Intervention Description Intervention Group Family Foundations Coparenting Program Couples randomly assigned to the Intervention Group received the Family Foundations Coparenting Program.
- 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.
