Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Parents, mothers as well as their partners, expecting their first child in the municipality of Aarhus are eligible for the study. This is because of the universal nature of the original program. Mothers are included if interested regardless of the fathers' decline. Biological fathers, registered partners, as well as non-registered partners are eligible.
Exclusion
- Parents are excluded from the study if they are under the age of 18 years
- Not capable of managing own legal affairs
- Choose not to accept any routine pregnancy scans. These exclusion criteria are chosen to secure that study participants are legally responsible and that we are able to recruit them via the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in connection with the nuchal translucency scan around week 12
- The father or partner is not included if the mother declines participation. The mother can choose to attend the Family Startup Program with a friend (i.e. a sister, friend or neighbor) but friends are not eligible for the study
- Finally, individuals are excluded if they are not able to understand the Danish oral presentation of the study information and hence cannot give informed consent
