Research: Dr. Jordan's program of research focuses on the transition to parenthood and supporting individuals and couples as they become parents. She has developed a middle range theory of the experience of expectant and new fatherhood. Her work with fathers continues to inform the care of men as they become parents. She is currently evaluating the efficacy of the Becoming Parents Program through a randomized clinical trial.
She is the developer of The Becoming Parents Program, a couple-focused educational program for couples who are adding a new baby to the family through birth, adoption, or foster parenting. The program teaches couples survival skills for taking care of their couple relationship, taking care of themselves, relating to their baby, and dealing with the many ways adding a new baby to the family impacts their lives.
