(Reuters Health) – Single dads are twice as likely to report poor physical and mental health as fathers with partners, according to a new Canadian study.
In addition, solo fathers experience the same stress and strain as single mothers, which is likely related to low income and unemployment, researchers say.
“We have long known that lone parenthood has negative effects on parents' health, but few studies focus on the single father population,” said lead author Maria Chiu of the University of Toronto.
