这项研究的目的是调查模式的自我选择的预防和关系教育计划（PREP），因为它是普遍提供给准夫妇参加产科服务在瑞典的一个城镇。141对夫妇回答了基线问卷，其中63%后来参加了PREP，37%作为对照组。结果表明，选择参加PREP的夫妇关系较短，更经常是未婚的第一次父母，并且报告的关系调整水平较低。PREP参与者的抑郁症状评分也更高，自测健康状况更差。看来，准夫妇有兴趣在预防性关系教育和夫妇有更多的危险因素，脆弱的关系自我选择到PREP时，该计划是普遍提供在怀孕期间。PREP的选择模式对公共卫生干预及其传播具有有趣的影响。
The aim of the study was to investigate patterns of self-selection into the Prevention and Relationship Education Program (PREP) as it was offered universally to expectant couples attending maternity services in a Swedish town. The baseline questionnaire was answered by 141 couples, of whom 63% later participated in PREP, and 37% served as a comparison group. The results showed that couples who chose to participate in PREP had a shorter relationship, were more often unmarried first-time parents, and reported lower levels of relationship adjustment. PREP participants also had higher scores of depressive symptoms and poorer self-rated health. It seems that expectant couples are interested in preventive relationship education and that couples with more risk factors for vulnerable relationships self-selected into PREP when the program was offered universally during pregnancy. The selection pattern into PREP has interesting implications for public health interventions and their dissemination.
