Becoming a parent is a life-changing event that can be both gratifying and stressful. As a parent, one is responsible for another person, where there sometimes is a need for new information, knowledge, and advice to live up to the new requirements that a changing family situation requires. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a new digital channel in child health care for support of parents in child health care issues with particular focus on eHealth literacy and satisfaction with care. An intervention is planned to run over eight months and will be evaluated in an intervention- and control group (from another health care centre) at baseline, 4 months and at 8 months follow-up. Data includes interviews and questionnaires about parental stress and eHealth literacy as well as satisfaction with care. Data will be analysed with qualitative and statistical methods. Expected outcomes is reduced parental stress and increased satisfaction with child health care.
