A Health Podyssey

Health Affairs' Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interviews Tova Walsh of the University of Wisconsin-Madison on her recent paper that explores perinatal mental health and the inclusion of fathers at the local, state, and national levels. Throughout their conversation, Walsh identifies recommendations that could lead to more inclusive approaches that aim to improve parental mental health as well as health outcomes for fathers, mothers, and babies.
