ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Large gaps remain between knowledge and practice regarding the two most common complications, obesity and mental health problems, during the prenatal and postnatal periods. Effective care is hampered by (1) fragmented services across providers; (2) limited multicomponent screening and interventions; and (3) poor reach of vulnerable groups due to access barriers and homogeneous research samples.
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this Doctoral Network project: to understand predictors and mechanisms of these intertwined complications in women, partners and offspring during pregnancy, postpartum and early parenthood; and to develop, test and implement the online HAP3 intervention for families and care providers to prevent transmission of complications across generations and inform future policy.
METHODS:
systematic reviews, national register studies, longitudinal cohort study analysis, prediction modelling, a multi-country randomized controlled feasibility trial and qualitative studies (co-creation methodology, stakeholder panels, interviews, nominal group studies).
RESULTS:
In more detail, 11 PhD students will each focus on one of the following research topics: 1: predictors and mechanisms of childhood obesity. 2: biological and psychosocial mechanisms related to family health & parenting 3: interplay between obesity & mental health during transition to parenthood 4–5: family app/dashboard for preventing obesity and mental health problems during transition to parenthood 6–8: feasibility and outcomes of the Family app/dashboard for obesity and mental health in 3 European countries 9–11: facilitators, barriers and implementation strategies for the Family app, Dashboard, and policy level
CONCLUSIONS:
The overarching goal is to provide transdisciplinary training for PhD students, enabling them to become "Perinatal Care Innovators", who can tackle complex challenges in obesity, mental health and early parenting.
KEY MESSAGE:
This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Joint Doctoral Network project aims to bridge critical knowledge-practice gaps by training a new generation of "Perinatal Care Innovators" to prevent obesity and mental health problems across generations through multidisciplinary research and the co-development and implementation of the HAP3 family intervention.
