520 3    |a Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a prenatal parenting curriculum, Promoting Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy, on individual attachment styles and prenatal attachment levels of pregnant women/men (fathers of the babies) or women who had recently given birth. Method: The research method chosen for this study was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The group of participants were volunteer pregnant women/men and women/men who had recently given birth who were recruited from a flyer distributed in a community organization and local high schools that offered the Teenage Parent Program. The participants completed the Experiences in Close Relationships Adult Questionnaire (ECR-R) and the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAl) as pretests, and then received 10 hours of instruction from the Promoting Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy curriculum. At the end of the curriculum the participants completed the ECR-R and the PAl as posttests. They also completed a demographic survey and a fifteen-minute interview with the researcher. The scores for the pretests and posttests were compared, and a statistical analysis was conducted to assess any changes. Major Findings: The results of the study found support for both hypotheses. The participants became more secure in their attachment styles and had higher levels of prenatal attachment after completing the prenatal parenting class. The men participants showed a greater increase in prenatal attachment when compared with the women.
