The intervention comprise of knowledge-based content, informational videos and audio, discussion forum, peer volunteer chat group, and a frequently asked questions (FAQ) expert advice section.

The aims of the study are to:

3. evaluate SPA's cost-effectiveness as compared to standard perinatal care across major restructured hospitals, and
4. examine the perceptions of parents in receiving this intervention.

When compared with those in the control group receiving standard care:

1. parents receiving SPA intervention will have better- emotional well-being (reduced depression and anxiety);parenting self-efficacy; social support; bonding and satisfaction.
