The co-authors of pregnancy: leveraging men’s sense of responsibility and other factors for male involvement in antenatal services in Kinshasa DRC

摘要

BackgroundDespite efforts to improve male involvement (MI), few male partners typically attend antenatal care (ANC). MI in ANC and interventions to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission have been demonstrated to be beneficial for the HIV-positive mother and her child. This study aimed to explore factors influencing partner attendance and highlight interventions with potential to improve MI within a Congolese context.
