Coparenting was studied from the perspectives of family, community and culture/wider society. The data collection of the study started on the April 1, 2020 and finished June 30, 2022. The following data sets were gathered: a) individual interview data of parents (late pregnancy N=92; and child 1,5 years N=91), b) mobile diary data of parents (child 4-6 months N=276; and child 1,5 years N=268), c) survey data of parents (late pregnancy N=306; child 4-6 months N=273; and child 1,5 years N=267), d) focus-group interview data of parents in online game-based parental group (N=26), and e) focus-group interview data of professionals in family centers (N=21). In addition, parents from Japan and Portugal were interviewed but this research data set includes only the Finnish data.
