    Author: Hudson DB, Campbell-Grossman C, Fleck MO, Elek SM, Shipman A.
    Journal: Issues Compr Pediatr Nurs; 2003; 26(4):217-29. PubMed ID: 14630529.
    Abstract:
    The effectiveness of an Internet-based intervention, the New Fathers Network, was tested in improving first-time fathers' parenting self-efficacy and parenting satisfaction during the first 8 weeks following their infants' birth as compared with no intervention (Comparison Group). Parenting self-efficacy and satisfaction scores for the Intervention Group significantly improved from 4 to 8 weeks; parenting self-efficacy and satisfaction scores for the Comparison Group to which no intervention was given did not change significantly. Participants were primarily satisfied with the New Fathers Network.
