In this article we present the results of three studies investigating methods for including men in antenatal education in Istanbul, Turkey. Participants were first-time expectant parents living in low and middle-income areas. After a formative study on the roles of various family members in health during the period surrounding a first birth, an antenatal-clinic-based education programme for women and for couples was carried out as a randomised, controlled study. Based on the results, separate community-based antenatal education programmes for expectant mothers and expectant fathers were tested. There was demand among many pregnant women and some of their husbands for including expectant fathers in antenatal education. In the short term, these programmes seemed to have positive effects on women and men's reproductive health knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. In the clinic-based programme the positive effects of including men were mainly in the area of post-partum family planning, while in the community-based programme positive effects among men were also seen in the areas of infant health, infant feeding and spousal communication and support. Free an tenatal education should be made available to all expectant mothers and when possible, men should be included, either together with their wives or in a culture such as that of Turkey, in separate groups.RésuméTrois etudes ont analysé des méthodes pour associer les hommes á l'éducation prénatale. Les participants, issus de quartiers à revenus faibles et moyens d'Istanbul, Turquie, attendaient leur premier enfant. Après une étude initiale des rôles en matiere de santé des membres de la famille pendant la période entourant une première naissance, un programme d'éducation a donné des soins prénatals en dispensaire aux femmes et aux couples, dans le cadre d'une etude aléatorie et contrôlée. En fonction des résultats, des programmes communautaires d'education prénatale, séparés pour les futurs péres et les futures mères, ont été testes. Beaucoup de femmes enceintes et quelques maris souhaitaient associer les futurs pères à l'éducation prénatale. A court terme, ces programmes semblaient avoir des effets positifs sur les connaissances, les attitudes et les comportements des hommes et des femmes en matière de santé génésique. Darts le programme mené au dispensaire, l'ínclusion des hommes avait des avantages touchant à la planification familiale post-partum, alors que les effets positifs du programme communautaire concernaient la santé infantile, 1'alimentation des nourrissons, la communication et le soutien entre époux. Une éducation prénatale gratuite devrait être proposée à toutes les futures mères et, lorsque c'est possible, les hommes devraient y être associés, soit avec leurs épouses soit, dans une culture comme celle de la Turquie, dans des groupes séparés.ResumenTres investigaciones analizaron los métodos para incluir a los hombres en la educación prenatal en Estambul, Turquia. Los participantes eran parejas que vivían en Areas de bajos y medianos ingresos, quienes esperaban su primer bebé. Después de un estudio formativo acerca de los roles de los distintos integrantes de la familia en relación a la salud durante el período previo y posterior a un primer nacimiento, se implementó un estudio aleatorio controlado en la forma de un programa educativo para mujeres y para parejas en una clínica prenatal. En base a los resultados, se probaron programas educativos prenatales comunitarios para mujeres embarazadas y sus parejas. Hubo una demanda entre muchas de las mujeres embarazadas y algunos de sus esposos para incluir a los futures padres en la educación prenatal. A couo plazo, estos programas parecían tener efectos positivos en las actitudes, comportamientos y conocimientos de la salud reproductiva de las mujeres y los hombres. En el programa de la clinica, los efectos positivos de incluir a los hombres se notaban principalmente en el ámbito de la planificación familiar postparto, mientras que en el programa comunitario, se notaban además los efectos positivos en los ámbitos de la salud y la alimentacion infantil, el apoyo de los hombres a sus esposas y la comunicacíon con ellas. Se recomienda ofrecer educacion prenatal gratuita a todas las mujeres embarazadas y cuando sea posible a los hombres, en conjunto con sus esposas o, en una cultura como la de Turquía, en grupos separados
