Résumé
Previous research has primarily focused on the relationship between providers and expectant mothers as a key element of quality prenatal care. Significantly less attention has been directed toward expectant fathers and the importance of their communication with prenatal care providers and involvement in the prenatal care process. Much of this limited existing literature emphasizes the health benefits including fathers would bring for mom and baby, but rarely is the potential benefit to fathers' health included in the conversation. This discussion aims to highlight the value of this line of research for both communication and medical researchers and consider potential avenues for studying and promoting father engagement in prenatal care.
