“…4 This might be due to the population difference, sample size and study period difference. And the current proportion of paternal depression was somewhat higher when compared to other studies in Japan in 2017 which was 8.8, 36 in Australia, 9.7, 37 in Brazil, 11.9, 13 and in US, 10.3. 12 This discrepancy in prevalence of PPPD might be due to the difference in study method, population, assessment tool, and study period.…”

Background: Paternal postpartum depression is a serious public health problem which has a significant effect on mortality and morbidity level. Its effect is not limited to the partner, but it also affects the family, the marital relationship and development of the child. Therefore, this study was planned to assess the prevalence and predictors of paternal postpartum depression among accompanying partners in selected public health centers of Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia. Methodology: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 male partners. The study was conducted in 25 randomly selected health centers and samples proportionally allocated to each health center. Finally, the study participants were selected by systematic random sampling method. The collected data were entered into EpiData version 4.2.0 and exported to IBM SPSS for further analysis. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was considered at a cutoff point ≥10 to detect depression. Descriptive and binary logistic regression analyses were done. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and p-value results in multivariable logistic regression were used to declare strength and presence of association. Results: Four hundred and ten partners participated in this study making a response rate of 97%. Seventy (17%) of the participants had paternal postpartum depression. Family income (AOR=3.

“…Even when one parent experiences poor mental health, the quality of child-rearing in the home deteriorates 3,7,9,35 , so the adverse effect on the child's environment may be even greater if both parents are psychologically distressed. From the perspective of child development and parental quality of life, an environment in which both parents experience psychological distress may be a critical situation that should be addressed as soon as possible.…”

Mental health assessments of both members of a couple are important when considering the childrearing environment. the prevalence and factors associated with both parents' psychological distress have not been fully investigated. A nationally representative sample from the 2016 Comprehensive Survey of Living conditions in Japan was used to examine the prevalence of moderate and severe psychological distress in parents in the first year after childbirth. In total, 3,514 two-parent households raising children under one year old met the study criteria. the Japanese version of Kessler 6 was used to assess moderate and severe psychological distress. The prevalence of either or both parents experiencing psychological distress in the first year after birth were 15.1% and 3.4%, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed factors of fathers who worked ≥ 55 h a week, reduced duration of sleep in mothers, age in months of the youngest child, and high household expenditures were significantly associated with both parents simultaneously having moderate or severe psychological distress. this study implied the importance of prevention and early detection of parental psychological distress in both parents. Assessing parents' psychological distress and workstyle reform in the childcare period is an urgent issue to improve their mental health conditions. Psychological distress in the postpartum period often manifests as depressive episodes in both men and women and is a serious health issue for parents 1. Previous research has demonstrated the negative impact of maternal depression on infant hospitalization and mortality 2 , duration of breastfeeding 3 , parenting 4 , and child development 5,6. Compared with maternal depression, paternal depression has not been recognized as a serious health issue within the general population worldwide. However, the negative effects of paternal depression on maternal and child health have been indicated by previous studies. These include an increase in inappropriate parenting behaviour 7 , impaired bonding with infants 8 , less enriching parenting activities 9 , adverse effects on emotional, behavioural, and psychosocial development in child 10,11 , and depression in adolescence 12. It is also known that paternal depression has the potential to increase father's risk of suicide 13 and healthcare costs 14. According to a recent meta-analysis and systematic review, the estimate for paternal depression in the first year after childbirth is 8.4% [95% Confidence Interval (CI), 7.2-9.6%] 15. The estimate for maternal depression is slightly higher [11.9%, (95% CI: 11.4%-12.5%)] 16. The prevalence rates for any anxiety disorder among fathers in the postnatal period ranged from 2.4-18.0% 17. The prevalence of depressive episodes in fathers in the first year after birth was relatively high, compared with later years 18. Previous studies have shown that paternal depression and maternal depression are positively correlated 15,19-22 , and the occurrence of depression in one parent led to a...

“…148 Fathers are also at risk for experiencing perinatal depression, 149 though research on fathers' depression status during this time period is scarce 150,151 and its effect on child outcomes is unclear. Several studies suggest fathers' perinatal depression is associated with children's adverse emotional status 152,153 ; however, a more recent study found that this relationship is mediated by maternal depression and couple conflicts. 154 Depression during the perinatal period may be an indication of a more chronic condition with an onset in the preconception period.…”

Concerns remain about the health of children conceived by infertility treatment. Studies to date have predominantly not identified substantial long-term health effects after accounting for plurality, which is reassuring given the increasing numbers of children conceived by infertility treatment worldwide. However, as technological advances in treatment arise, ongoing studies remain critical for monitoring health effects. To study whether the techniques used in infertility treatment cause health differences, however, remains challenging due to identification of an appropriate comparison group, heterogeneous treatment, and confounding by the underlying causes of infertility. In fact, the factors that are associated with underlying infertility, including parental obesity and other specific male and female factors, may be important independent factors to consider. This review will summarize key methodological considerations in studying children conceived by infertility treatment including the evidence of associations between underlying infertility factors and child health.
