Search StrategyWe used 3 methods to identify studies for this meta-analysis. First, we used the reference lists of the most relevant reviews.5,11 Next, we searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Dissertation Abstracts International, EMBASE, and Google Scholar using the search terms depression, paternal, father, postnatal, postpartum, prenatal, antenatal, and perinatal . Finally, we used the “ancestry approach,”21 which involves consulting the reference lists of retrieved articles to find earlier relevant studies. Because of the emergent nature of this body of observational research literature, an inclusive approach to study selection was used.22,23 Therefore, we included all relevant and accessible journal articles, dissertations, and book chapters that were produced between January 1980 and October 2009 that assessed paternal depression during pregnancy, the first postpartum year, or both.
