Summary
In the UK there have been more studies of fathers across the transition to parenthood than at any other life stage. Who’s the Bloke in the Room? focuses particularly on the antenatal period, although we include short sections on the birth and the neonatal period. Integrated throughout this Report are findings from Phase 2 of our datasets review, during which we examined three ‘birth cohort studies’ – the Avon Longitudinal Study of Children and Parents (Alspac), the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS], and Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) – to see what questions they asked about the fathers of cohort members in pregnancy and around the time of birth. The report also includes results from How was it for you?, an online survey of dads’ experiences, which we conducted with Fathers Network Scotland during May 2018.
