The results indicated that the rate of male attendance at ANC with their pregnant partners was 69.4%. After controlling for covariates, pregnant partners who were accompanied to ANC by their male partners were more likely to adequately utilize ANC services (AOR=1.42; 95% CI 1.18-1.71), commence ANC visits even during the first trimester (AOR=1.21; 95% CI 1.03-1.42), give birth at a health facility (AOR=1.23; 95% CI 1.03-1.47) and present themselves for postnatal check-ups (AOR=1.24; 95% CI 1.04-1.47) than those who were not accompanied by them. The study demonstrated that participation of male partners in ANC was positively associated with their pregnant partners' utilization of reproductive health care services in Afghanistan. The findings suggest that, to improve maternal and child health outcomes in the country, it would be worthwhile implementing interventions to encourage male partners to become more engaged in the ANC of their pregnant partners.Existing research has suggested children of caregivers with histories of exposure to trauma are at heightened risk for victimization, but few studies have explored potential mechanisms that explain this intergenerational transmission of risk. With data from peri-urban households in Lima, Peru (N = 402), this study analyzes parenting behaviors in the relation between caregivers' trauma history and child victimization for children aged 4-17. Results indicated caregivers' trauma history and negative parenting behaviors related to child victimization, and negative parenting behaviors mediated this relation. Positive parenting behaviors did not have significant direct effects and were not mediators of risk transmission. Temozolomide Parenting behaviors did not moderate the relation between caregiver and child victimization, suggesting parenting behaviors may not buffer or exacerbate intergenerational transmission. Post-hoc analyses revealed family type (e.g., single, cohabitating/married) exerted significant direct and moderating effects on child risk, interacting with positive parenting. Families with married/cohabitating caregivers reported overall lower levels of child victimization; however, the relation between positive parenting and victimization was slightly stronger for children in single-parent families. Results highlight potential pathways of the intergenerational cycle of victimization and suggest high-risk families in Peru may benefit from parenting supports, especially pertaining to remediation of negative parenting behaviors.To assess the accuracy and readability of internet prenatal nutrition advice. Between August and December 2018, 130 internet pages returned from Google searches on foods to avoid, foods to eat, and supplements use were compared to UK government advice for pregnant women. Readability was assessed using the Flesch Readability Ease (FRE) tool. Descriptive and non-parametric tests were used. Spearman's Correlation explored associations between accuracy and readability. Kruskal-Wallis tests with Bonferroni correction were used for multiple pairwise tests and Mann-Whitney U tests for two-sample differences in medians. One hundred and thirty internet pages were examined 48% from publishers, 27% from other commercial organisations, 22% from charities and 3% from governments. Eighty-three (64%) pages contained inaccurate and accurate advice, 23 (18%) were accurate and complete, 21 (16%) were inaccurate, and three (2%) lacked any relevant advice. The median percentage accuracy of all advice was 83 (LQ, UQ) (48,100). Median FRE was 55 (46, 61) 'fairly difficult'. Eighty-seven pages (67%) scored below the recommended FRE for public internet pages. There was a weak positive correlation between accuracy and readability of internet pages rho = 0.241, p=0.006. Accuracy of internet pages did not differ by dietary theme. Pages on supplements were the most difficult to read. Internet pages from publishers and other commercial organisations were significantly less ac
