简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the online modality of the Make the Connection (MTC) program in a community-based sample of parents not at-risk for parenting difficulties. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the MTC online program result in improvements in parent-child bond, parent self-efficacy, parental stress, and parental depression among parents who are not at-risk for parent-child relationship difficulties?
- What are some of the barriers, facilitators, perceived benefits and risks to participating in the MTC online program from the perspective of parents?
Participants will be asked to complete a pre-intervention questionnaire, will be invited to complete the 8-week MTC online program consisting of a weekly 15-minute module, and will lastly be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Parent-child bond will be measured using the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale (MPAS)
时间窗: Change from pre-intervention scores at baseline and post-intervention scores at week 8
The MPAS is a 19-item questionnaire that assesses parents' relational attitudes towards their infant. There are three main subscales derived from the measure: Quality of Attachment, Pleasure in Interaction, and Absence of Hostility. The MPAS has shown strong psychometric properties for use in community samples and can be used with mothers and fathers.
