K-State faculty member and student validate new measure of co-parenting quality

Submitted by Anthony Ferraro

Anthony Ferraro, assistant professor in the applied human sciences department, and Hilary Pippert, doctoral candidate in applied family science, recently published a new paper validating a 12-item short-form measure of the co-parenting quality, the Multi-Dimensional Co-Parenting Scale for Dissolved Relationships 12.

This new scale meets a larger call from the field for short-form assessments that can be readily used in program evaluation, particularly parent education programs.

The new measure can be found in the Journal of Divorce & Remarriage.
