Parents' perspectives on preparing for parenthood: a qualitative study on Greenland's universal parenting programme MANU 0-1 year.

The transition to parenthood has received increasing attention in research, partly due to evidence pointing out the crucial developmental period of a child's first thousand days. Parenting programmes aim to prepare and support families in their transition and distress. For a programme to be implemented successfully it is important to consider parents' needs and resources.
