Dr. Jermane Bond will participate in a panel entitled "Dads Matter: Patneral Involvement in Maternal and Child Health" at the 140th Annual American Public Health Association Meeting.  His presentation is  "Identifying Gaps in Research, Policy, and Practice on Paternal Involvement in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Family Health."

Fathers’ involvement has been recognized as an important but neglected part of MCH programs and policies. In recent years, efforts have been made to expand the evidence base on the impact of fathers’ involvement on pregnancy outcomes and child health. In this session, presenters will share the latest research on the impact of fathers’ support, current gaps in research and policy, and effective interventions to increase the involvement of fathers in maternal and child health.
