We were seeking couples who are up to 26 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK pilot study (i.e., first trial): Supporting the Transition to Parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.
What is STORK? The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.
What was involved? Couples completed the STORK program’s 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 2 months postpartum. They also completed 2 surveys—before and after the program—that gather information about their relationship, their pregnancy experience, their feedback on the STORK program, and their child.
This study is closed for recruitment and is in the data collection phase!
We will post our findings once we go through the analysis and peer review phases!
