Reported infant safety information and perinatal service engagement among birth partners and co-parents. An exploratory cross-sectional survey at a large UK teaching hospital

Background

Infant mortality in the United Kingdom is higher in areas of socioeconomic deprivation and within several minority ethnic groups. Preventive strategies rely in part on safety information reaching families during the perinatal period. The extent to which birth partners and co-parents report exposure to that information is not well characterised.
