- Abstract
There are no published studies on pregnancy-related concerns, worries, and fears (CWFs) in primiparous and multiparous women and men in U.S. Air Force (USAF) families. Reflecting a biopsychosocial model of behavioral health, women's and men's pregnancy-related CWF Questionnaires were developed. Usable data were obtained from 260 women and 243 men in USAF families. Similarities and differences in pregnancy-related CWFs were found when USAF and general population data were compared. The present findings can inform not only the general provision of pregnancy health-related services but also USAF secondary prevention pregnancy-related programs (e.g., USAF nurse home visiting programs for first-time parents). If CWF Questionnaires are individually administered, the information can be used to tailor services to individual client needs.
