Editorial reading guide · Collaboration
Do both caregivers mean the same thing when they describe support?
The authors test whether a coparenting questionnaire captures related dimensions in mothers and partners in this setting. That is relevant when two adults use the same words for different experiences.
Who was studied?
First-time mothers and their partners recruited in Karachi; 120 mothers and 102 partners contributed postpartum data.
Age / stage: Pregnancy to 12 weeks postpartum
Read with three questions
- Which parts of the questionnaire were examined separately for the two groups?
- Which results address validity and which address repeatability or consistency?
- How might the division of care in a different household affect how the findings apply?
