- 요약The US has traditionally done very little to offer supports in the postpartum period. This dearth of support belies the often-stressful nature of the period, and the negative outcomes associated with this stress, as well as the importance of the period and the unique opportunities afforded by structural changes in the brains of new parents which make them uniquely open to change. This combination of factors creates fertile ground for intervention. Text-message-based intervention models, which promise low-cost and easy scalability, are emerging to target this promising period. This three-paper dissertation seeks to contribute to the burgeoning literature addressing text-message-based interventions targeting parents of 0-to-3-year-olds, to both the body of evidence regarding program efficacy and to the more limited documentation and understanding of how participants engage with such programs. The first paper investigates the implementation of a text-message-based mentoring intervention for postpartum mothers, NurturePA, which operates a less common two-way communication model. It uses the intervention's theory of change and tenets of behavioral science theory to conceptualize the features of program intervention that would be prerequisite to program efficacy. Then, drawing on 18,897 text-messages exchanged by 162 mother-mentor pairs during the mothers' first year of program enrollment, it describes program implementation and evaluates the results for alignment with these important elements, ultimately concluding that these data support the program's feasibility. The primary contribution of this paper is the view it offers into participant engagement with a two-way text-message-based program and into to directions for further research into such programs. The second paper takes up one such avenue of further research, evaluating the effects of NurturePA's intervention on a variety of maternal and infant outcomes using intent-to-treat analyses. Drawing on data from participants' first 4 months of enrollment in a randomized control trial (RCT) of the NurturePA program, this paper's findings include null results on many of the measured outcomes, including maternal stress, maternal mental health, and maternal knowledge regarding infant development. However, they additionally include a moderate, statistically significant effect on participants' opinion regarding the criticism mothers receive, as well as small, marginally significant effects on participants' opinions regarding the quality of advice offered to mothers and on their infant's mastery of developmental milestones. This paper considers the implications of these findings and situates them within the broader literature to reflect on their implications for the application of behavioral science theory to interventions in the parenting space. The third paper returns to questions of implementation, using the text-message data from the RCT's 99 treatment group participants' first 4 months of enrollment. Offering another view into participant engagement with the intervention format, and paired with the first paper, it sheds light on the ability of a two-way program to maintain stability of program implementation over time. It pays particular attention to variations in dosage and content differentiation, which are identified in the limited literature on the topic as potential moderators of program efficacy. Finally, it uses the implementation data to contextualize the second paper's program effects findings. This dissertation offers perspectives on (1) the relevance of the targeted-participant-behaviors/targeted-program-outcomes relationship to applications of behavioral science theory (2) the considerations designers of two-way text-message-based interventions should prioritize, as well as reflections on (3) the viability of such intervention models and (4) the varying needs of mothers in the postpartum period such models can address.
