More equitable preconception health: paternal life course opportunities for better pregnancy, child, and family outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address the overlooked role of men in preconception health and its impact on pregnancy and family outcomes. They argue that integrating men's health into preconception care can correct historical biases and improve intergenerational health, particularly for marginalized communities. Through a transdisciplinary review and case studies, the paper advocates for more equitable health interventions that consider the experiences and health of young men.
