Commission on Paternal Involvement in Pregnancy Outcomes (CPIPO)
CPIPO’s purpose is to improve paternal involvement in pregnancy and family health by reframing debates and informing research, policy and practice to support greater involvement of fathers in pregnancy. The objectives of CPIPO are to: 1) identify programmatic barriers to improving men’s preconception health and paternal involvement in pregnancy and suggest options for overcoming barriers; 2) develop standardized research, policy, educational and practice guidelines for improving paternal involvement in pregnancy outcomes and; 3) develop a national media strategy intended to shift the men’s health focus to a more positive, direct, active and constructive role in the reproductive health agenda.
