The Fragile Infant Parental Readiness Evaluation™ (FIPRE) consists of four multi-item scales measuring:

• NICU support
• Infant well-being
• Parent well-being
• Parent anxiety.

The scales range from three-to-eleven items in length. Using a four level response option, parents are asked to respond to a series of statements and indicate how much each one reflects their experience. Two global items measure family cohesion and anticipated limitations in personal time. There are five standard demographic questions: infant gender, birth order, the primary language spoken at home, the mother's country of birth, highest level of education, and marital status.
