In developing our First-Time Parent Framework, E2A deliberately drew on concepts and models that are familiar to the family planning and reproductive health community—the life-course approach and the socio-ecological model. The framework applies these two concepts as analytical lenses for exploring the FTP experience, and:
Defines an FTP lifestage within the broader evolution of sexual and reproductive activity typically experienced over an individual’s lifetime—from puberty to parenthood and beyond;
Adapts the socio-ecological approach to understand the broader FTP social system, and the multiple personal and environmental factors/interactions that influence health choice and action.
