Engaging Fathers in MIH Programs |
|
Presenter: Amina Alio, PhD
Description: Fathers (including male partners) have been recognized to have an impact on maternal and infant outcomes. MIH programs struggle to involve fathers, especially in the prenatal, inter-conception and pre-conception life stages. In this Webinar, we will first review the direct and indirect impact of fathers across the reproductive life stages and on maternal and infant outcomes. We will discuss potential pathways through which fathers may improve MIH outcomes. Secondly, we will learn about promising practices and strategies for engaging fathers in MIH programs. |
