What kind of evidence?
A review, observational study, experiment, advisory, qualitative synthesis, or future original dataset should be named accurately.
Bestead research library
Evidence, with its limits left visible.
These pages connect fatherhood questions with peer-reviewed and public-health sources. They are editorial narrative syntheses—not original Bestead surveys, experiments, clinical guidance, or proof that a specific app practice causes an outcome.
Current boundary
No first-party findings are published here yet.
Bestead has not published participant recruitment, a sample, a questionnaire, product-usage analysis, or original outcome data in this library. Until a real study is completed with consent, privacy protections, documented exclusions, analysis rules, and limitations, we will not label editorial synthesis as “our research.”

Research methodology
What Bestead currently means by research, how narrative evidence pages are prepared, and what would be required before publishing original data.
Publishing principles
What every research page should make inspectable
Who was studied?
Population, country, father representation, child age, and setting affect whether a finding can travel to another family.
What remains uncertain?
Correlation is not causation. Mixed findings, missing father data, heterogeneity, and search limitations belong beside the conclusion.
