Summary, etc. Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Mens’ attendance with their pregnant partners at facility-based antenatal care (ANC) visits is important for maternal and child health and gender equality yet remains uncommon in parts of rural Tanzania. This study examined men’s perspectives on attending ANC with their pregnant partners in Misungwi District, Tanzania.<br/><br/>Methods: Twelve individual interviews and ve focus group discussions were conducted using semistructured questionnaires with fathers, expectant fathers, and in-depth interviews were done to health providers, volunteer community health workers, and village leaders. Interviews were recorded and transcribed in Swahili and later translated to English. The research team conducted thematic analysis to identify common themes among interviews.<br/><br/>Results: We identi ed two broad themes on the barriers to male attendance at facility-based ANC visits:(1) Perceived exclusion during ANC visits among men (2) Traditional gender norms resulting to low attendance among men.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Attendance at health facility for ANC visits by men with their pregnant partners in the study areas were challenged by structural and local cultural norms. At the facility men were uncomfortable to sit with women due to lack of speci c waiting area for men and that they perceived to be neglected. Local cultural norms demanded women to have secrecy in pregnancy while men perceived not to have a role of being with their partners during ANC visits.
