Abstract
Although sexual and reproductive health is an issue that affects both men and women, in the past the focus has been on women, as people who get pregnant and nurture the young. Men have largely been neglected, especially in Zambia. However, the picture changed and focus shifted to men only after the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994. This study endeavoured to examine and understand the involvement of men during pregnancy and childbirth and its influence on pregnancy complications and neonatal deaths. It is uses secondary data from the 2007 Zambia DHS and applies logistic regression (binary and multinomial). A large percentage of men (82.5 percent) are not involved during pregnancy and childbirth in Zambia. Religion and women’s occupation determine men’s involvement. Even after adjusting for confounders, we still find no significant association between both pregnancy complications /neonatal deaths and adjusted men’s involvement.
