DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central goal of the proposed project is to assess the feasibility of a commercially viable, preventive intervention product aimed at enhancing new fathers' positive adaptation to parenthood. We will integrate an existing evidence-based transition to parenthood program with leading fatherhood promotion curriculum materials, and deliver the intervention content through a multi-component web- based infrastructure with reach to mobile devices. The system will enhance father engagement, parenting quality, and co-parenting support, and reduce substance use, harsh parenting, and interparental conflict- all ultimately leading to positive child developmental and mental health outcomes. Research indicates that fathers contribute to family well-being in multifaceted ways. Positive father engagement with their children and fathers' support of mothers each has unique implications for children's well-being and health. Father engagement also benefits fathers: More engaged fathers tend to live healthier and more socially responsible lives. Although some new fathers reduce levels of antisocial behavior and substance use, this is not true for all fathers. Notably, alcohol and substance abuse represent a significant barrier to positive father engagement and is a risk factor for perpetration of violence towards both children and partners. Supporting men in making a positive adjustment to parenthood would therefore likely lead to reduced levels of substance use, and encouraging men to reduce substance use would likely lead to improved positive engagement with their child and partner. We believe that digital technologies offer an important opportunity for population penetration, but that prior digital initiatives to support faters have not been employed in a comprehensive, thoughtful manner, based on solid understanding of the relevant family developmental science, prevention principles related to behavior and relationship change, and an understanding of the capacities, advantages, and limits of digital technologies. Our team integrates experience in all these areas. AIM 1: To integrate program materials from existing transition-to-parenthood and fatherhood interventions currently on DVD and CD-ROM into a single program, adapting and enhancing materials related to self-regulation and substance use. AIM 2: To develop the web-based infrastructure and portal to deliver the content in Aim 1. AIM 3: To assess the feasibility of the core system with 50 expectant fathers, evaluating the appeal, utilization, and user satisfaction.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的中心目标是评估商业上可行的预防性干预产品的可行性，旨在增强新父亲对为人父母的积极适应。我们将把现有的循证父母过渡计划与领先的父亲促进课程材料相结合，并通过可访问移动设备的多组件、基于网络的基础设施提供干预内容。该系统将提高父亲的参与度、养育质量和共同养育支持，并减少药物使用、严厉的养育和父母间冲突——所有这些最终都会带来积极的儿童发育和心理健康结果。研究表明，父亲以多方面的方式为家庭幸福做出贡献。父亲与孩子的积极互动以及父亲对母亲的支持对孩子的福祉和健康都有独特的影响。父亲的参与对父亲也有好处：更多参与的父亲往往会过上更健康、更有社会责任感的生活。尽管一些新父亲减少了反社会行为和药物使用的水平，但并非所有父亲都是如此。值得注意的是，酒精和药物滥用是父亲积极参与的重大障碍，也是对儿童和伴侣实施暴力的风险因素。因此，支持男性对为人父母的身份做出积极调整可能会导致药物使用水平降低，而鼓励男性减少药物使用可能会导致改善与孩子和伴侣的积极互动。我们认为，数字技术为人口渗透提供了重要机会，但之前支持父亲的数字举措尚未基于对相关家庭发展科学、与行为和关系相关的预防原则的深入理解，以全面、深思熟虑的方式实施。变化，以及对数字技术的能力、优势和局限性的理解。我们的团队整合了所有这些领域的经验。目标 1：将 DVD 和 CD-ROM 上现有的向父母过渡和父亲干预措施中的计划材料整合到一个计划中，调整和增强与自我调节和药物使用相关的材料。目标 2：开发基于网络的基础设施和门户网站，以交付目标 1 中的内容。 目标 3：评估核心系统与 50 名准爸爸的可行性，评估吸引力、利用率和用户满意度。
