Summary

This study aims to adapt and validate a French version of the PAPA questionnaire, a tool designed to screen for psychological distress in fathers during the perinatal period. Researchers will test the questionnaire with 343 couples to see if it accurately captures symptoms like anxiety and depression that may differ from those in mothers. If validated, the French-PAPA could help healthcare providers better support new fathers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, validated tool for French-speaking clinicians to detect mental health issues in new fathers.
What could go wrong
This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaire may not capture all aspects of paternal mental health or may not be widely adopted.
