This cross-sectional, descriptive study examined unmet social and economic needs and health information requests of low-income, expecting fathers who participated in the First 1000 Days program. The First 1000 Days is a systems-level intervention aiming to prevent obesity among low-income mothers and infants across 3 community health centers in Greater Boston, MA, USA. Fathers who attended their partner's first prenatal care visit were invited to complete a program survey during early pregnancy. Among 131 fathers surveyed, 45% were white, 21% were Hispanic/Latino, 55% were foreign-born, and 69% reported an annual income under $50 000. Fathers reported elevated levels of food insecurity (18%) and 33% were unaware of someone that could provide a $50 loan; however, over 85% of fathers knew someone that could provide non-financial social support. Fathers requested information about pregnancy, birth preparation, and fatherhood. Findings support addressing fathers' unmet needs during pregnancy and providing father-specific perinatal information.
这项横断面描述性研究调查了参与“头1000天”项目的低收入准父亲未得到满足的社会和经济需求以及健康信息需求。“头1000天”是一项系统层面的干预措施，旨在预防美国马萨诸塞州大波士顿地区3个社区卫生中心的低收入母亲和婴儿肥胖。参加伴侣首次产前检查的父亲被邀请在怀孕早期完成一项项目调查。在接受调查的131名父亲中，45%为白人，21%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔，55%出生在国外，69%报告年收入低于5万美元。父亲们报告粮食不安全程度较高（18%），33%的人不知道有谁能提供50美元贷款；然而，超过85%的父亲认识能提供非经济社会支持的人。父亲们要求提供有关怀孕、分娩准备和为人父的信息。研究结果支持在孕期满足父亲未得到满足的需求，并提供针对父亲的围产期信息。
