Evaluate the effect of fathers' participation in the Preemie Prep for Parents (P3) program on maternal learning and fathers' preterm birth knowledge.
Mothers with preterm birth predisposing medical condition(s) enrolled with or without the baby's father and were randomized to the P3 intervention (text-messages linking to animated videos) or control (patient education webpages). Parent Prematurity Knowledge Questionnaire assessed knowledge, including unmarried fathers' legal neonatal decision-making ability.
104 mothers reported living with the baby's father; 50 participated with the father and 54 participated alone. In the P3 group, mothers participating with the father (n = 33) had greater knowledge than mothers participating alone (n = 21), 85 % correct responses vs. 76 %, p = 0.033. However, there was no difference in knowledge among the control mothers, 67 % vs. 60 %, p = 0.068. P3 fathers (n = 33) knowledge scores were not different than control fathers (n = 17), 77 % vs. 68 %, p= 0.054. Parents who viewed the video on fathers' rights (n = 58) were more likely than those who did not (n = 96) to know unmarried fathers' legal inability to decide neonatal treatments, 84 % vs. 41 %, p < 0.001.
Among opposite-sex cohabitating couples, fathers' participation in the P3 program enhanced maternal learning.
The P3 program's potential to educate fathers may benefit high-risk pregnancies.

评估父亲参与“父母早产准备（P3）”项目对母亲知识学习及父亲早产知识的影响。
患有早产相关疾病的母亲，无论是否有婴儿父亲陪同参与研究，被随机分为P3干预组（接收链接动画视频的短信）或对照组（患者教育网页）。父母早产知识问卷评估知识水平，包括未婚父亲的法定新生儿决策能力。
104位母亲报告与婴儿父亲同住；50位与父亲一同参与，54位独自参与。在P3组中，与父亲一同参与的母亲（n = 33）比独自参与的母亲（n = 21）知识水平更高，正确回答率分别为85%和76%，p = 0.033。然而，对照组母亲之间的知识水平无差异，分别为67%和60%，p = 0.068。P3组父亲（n = 33）的知识得分与对照组父亲（n = 17）无差异，分别为77%和68%，p = 0.054。观看过关于父亲权利视频的父母（n = 58）比未观看的父母（n = 96）更有可能知晓未婚父亲在决定新生儿治疗方面的法定无能力，知晓率分别为84%和41%，p < 0.001。
在异性同居伴侣中，父亲参与P3项目可提高母亲的知识学习。
P3项目对父亲进行教育的潜力可能有益于高危妊娠。
