PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review current research, policy, and practice on paternal involvement in pregnancy outcomes and suggest recommendations to improve paternal involvement in pregnancy and childbirth. RECENT FINDINGS: Although much has been written about fathers' influence on child health and development, little is known about the expectant father's role in pregnancy and childbirth. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of paternal involvement during pregnancy, but more research is needed to identify specific contributions expectant fathers make and their impact on reducing infant mortality and associated risk factors during pregnancy and childbirth. SUMMARY: Obstetricians-gynecologists can play a greater role in promoting research, policy and practice to improve paternal involvement in pregnancy and childbirth. |
