“…Goyal et al 12 conducted a scoping review of perinatal mental health research during the COVID-19 pandemic and found that recruitment rates among black, Indigenous and other women of colour were low overall, at 23.5%. Specifically, in at least 13 studies (52%), over 80% of the participants were white.…”

“…he COVID-19 public health crisis contributed to a significant increase in rates of perinatal depressive symptoms and anxiety in North America which were well documented in several studies conducted in the United States (Liu et al, 2021;Ostacoli et al, 2020;Perzow et al, 2021;Shuman et al, 2022) and Canada (Dol et al, 2023;Vigod et al, 2021). Most of the research was conducted primarily among women of Caucasian descent (Goyal et al, 2023), with little attention given to the mental health of fathers or those of diverse ethnicities. This is a major limitation given more than 1 million immigrants arrive in the United States each year (Pew Research Center, 2020a) and 1.3 million immigrants moved to Canada between 2016(Statistics Canada, 2022a.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to examine the prevalence of postpartum depression and anxiety symptomatology among fathers of Asian descent living in North America during the COVID-19 pandemic, and (2) to identify the occurrences of online racial discrimination. Study Design and Methods: Using a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling methods, we recruited fathers online via social media sites (Facebook, Instagram) between March 12 and July 31, 2022. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, General Anxiety Scale, and the Online Victimization Scale assessed mental health well-being and discrimination outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, two sample t-test, chi-square test of independence, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: Our sample included 61 fathers within 6 months postpartum living in the United States and Canada. Participants were on average 34 years old, married, and represented 17 Asian ethnic groups, including Asian Indian (41%), Filipino (11.3%), and Korean (8.1%). One-third of our participants (31.1%, n = 19) were at high risk of developing postpartum depression and scores of three (4.9%) fathers indicated they had clinically significant anxiety. Overall, 26.3% reported experiencing direct online racial discrimination and 65% reported occurrences of indirect online racial discrimination. Clinical Implications: There was a high rate of depressive symptoms and occurrences of online racial discrimination among fathers of Asian descent living in North America. These rates are higher than the general perinatal population and further research is warranted to examine risk factors and preventive strategies among this unique paternal ethnic group.
