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一种商业上可行的预防性干预产品的可行性，该产品旨在增强新父亲对父母身份的积极适应。我们将整合现有的基于证据的向父母身份过渡计划与领先的父亲身份促进课程材料，并通过多组件的基于网络的基础设施提供干预内容，并覆盖移动的设备。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的冲突--所有这些最终都会带来积极的儿童发展和心理健康结果。研究表明，父亲以多方面的方式促进家庭福祉。父亲与子女的积极接触以及父亲对母亲的支持，对儿童的福祉和健康都有独特的影响。父亲的参与也有利于父亲：更多参与的父亲往往生活得更健康，更有社会责任感。虽然一些新父亲减少了反社会行为和物质使用的水平，但这并不适用于所有父亲。值得注意的是，酗酒和滥用药物是父亲积极参与的一个重大障碍，也是对子女和伴侣实施暴力的一个风险因素。因此，支持男子积极适应为人父母的生活可能会导致减少药物使用，鼓励男子减少药物使用可能会改善与子女和伴侣的积极接触。我们认为，数字技术为人口渗透提供了一个重要的机会，但以前的数字举措，以支持faters尚未采用全面，周到的方式，基于对相关的家庭发展科学，预防原则相关的行为和关系的变化，并了解的能力，优势和数字技术的限制。我们的团队整合了所有这些领域的经验。目标1：将目前DVD和CD-ROM上现有的向父母身份过渡和父亲身份干预措施的方案材料纳入一个单一的方案，调整和加强与自我调节和药物使用有关的材料。目标2：开发基于网络的基础设施和门户网站，以提供目标1中的内容。目的3：以50位准爸爸为对象，评估核心系统的可行性，评估其吸引力、利用率及使用者满意度。
