Summary

Approximately one in 10 fathers experience mental health difficulties during their partner's pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. There is a need for routine depression screening and timely interventions for fathers in the postpartum however there is a lack of resources tailored to men. To fill this gap, the investigators developed HealthyDads which includes up-to-date information and strategies related to i) prevention or reduction of stress and depressive symptoms; ii) parenting skills preparation tailored to expectant dads and iii) healthy lifestyle promotion for men at risk for depression. The investigators objective is to evaluate the acceptability of the HealthDads website targeting the mental health of at risk expectant fathers.
