The New Parent Checklist: A Tool to Promote Parental Reflection.

Purpose: To design and establish content and face validity of an evidence-informed tool that promotes parental self-reflection during the transition to parenthood.

Study Design And Methods: The New Parent Checklist was developed using a three-phase sequential approach: Phase 1 a scoping review and expert consultation to develop and refine a prototype tool; Phase 2 content analysis of parent focus groups; and Phase 3 assessment of utility in a cross-sectional sample of parents completing the New Parent Checklist and a questionnaire.

Results: The initial version of the checklist was considered by experts to contain key information.

Theory of planned behavior and intention to exercise: effects of setting.

Objectives: To explore whether setting type (structured versus unstructured) might moderate the relationship between specific theory of planned behavior (TPB) constructs and exercise intention. It was hypothesized that perceived behavioral control (PBC) would predict intention only in an unstructured setting.

Methods: Students (N=122) completed a questionnaire that assessed TPB constructs and exercise intention for a structured (sign up) or unstructured setting (no sign up).
