title: [Participation of men in reproductive health: what health professionals think].
abstract: This survey was aimed at analyzing health professionals' concepts concerning male participation in the different aspects of the reproductive process. The data were collected in a philan-thropic hospital in the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, in the State of Minas Gerais, by means of a workshop whose theme was: "Men's place in the reproductive health service". The data obtained are part of the results of this study. It was possible to observe that men go with their partners and children to many of the service's sectors, but are absent in situations like postabortion and child donation for adoption. One of the main obstacles for full assistance has been the precarious physical and material infrastructure of the services.
