Analyses of program engagement can provide critical insight into how program involvement leads to outcomes. This study examines the relation between participant engagement and program outcomes in Family Foundations (FF), a universal preventive intervention designed to help couples manage the transition to parenthood by improving coparenting relationship quality. Previous intent-to-treat outcome analyses from a randomized trial indicate FF improves parental adjustment, interparental relationships, and parenting. Analyses for the current study use the same sample, and yield statistically reliable relations between participant engagement and interparental relationships but not parental adjustment or parenting. Discussion considers implications for FF and the difficulties researchers face when examining the relation between engagement and outcomes in preventive interventions.
对项目参与度的分析可以深入了解项目参与如何导致结果。本研究考察了参与者参与度与家庭基础（FF）项目结果之间的关系，FF 是一种普遍的预防干预措施，旨在通过改善夫妻关系质量来帮助夫妇过渡到为人父母。先前一项随机试验的意向治疗结果分析表明，FF 可改善父母适应、夫妻关系和育儿。当前研究的分析使用了相同的样本，参与者参与度与夫妻关系之间存在统计学上可靠的关系，但与父母适应或育儿无关。讨论考虑了 FF 的意义，以及研究人员在检查预防干预中参与度与结果之间的关系时所面临的困难。
