Teenage fathers must strive to balance two competing roles: the teenage role and the father role. The current study design followed grounded theory methodology to gain a deeper understanding of how Thai teenage fathers reason about becoming and being a father from a gender equality perspective. Participants were selected from a heterogeneous group of fathers until saturation was reached (<i>n<\/i>\u00a0= 25). Most of the fathers were cohabiting with their partner in an extended family. An interview guide was developed, a pilot study was undertaken, and interviews were performed on two different occasions: once during the second trimester of pregnancy and again when the baby was 5 to 6 months old. The core category, \u201cMale breadwinners involved in parenting,\u201d encompassed persons making the transition from being solely a teenager to being a teenage father. Most of the fathers accepted the unintended pregnancy and took on the expected breadwinning responsibility of a father. They prepared for fatherhood and changed their lifestyle. Their families provided support. Nevertheless, the fathers sought to avoid further unplanned parenthood by learning about family planning. The teenage fathers emphasized breadwinning first, then involved himself in the child and the housework. These findings provide an increased understanding of Thai teenage fathers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Grounded theory methodology<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Author<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"contribDegrees no-aff\"><a class=\"entryAuthor\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/action\/doSearch?target=default&amp;ContribAuthorStored=Sriyasak%2C+Atcharawadee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atcharawadee Sriyasak<\/a>, MSc<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"contribDegrees no-aff\"><a class=\"entryAuthor\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/action\/doSearch?target=default&amp;ContribAuthorStored=Almqvist%2C+Anna-Lena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anna-Lena Almqvist<\/a>, PhD<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"contribDegrees no-aff\"><a class=\"entryAuthor\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/action\/doSearch?target=default&amp;ContribAuthorStored=Sridawruang%2C+Chaweewan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chaweewan Sridawruang<\/a>, PhD<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"contribDegrees no-aff\"><a class=\"entryAuthor\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/action\/doSearch?target=default&amp;ContribAuthorStored=Neamsakul%2C+Wanwadee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wanwadee Neamsakul<\/a>, PhD<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"contribDegrees no-aff\"><a class=\"entryAuthor\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/action\/doSearch?target=default&amp;ContribAuthorStored=H%C3%A4ggstr%C3%B6m-Nordin%2C+Elisabet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elisabet H\u00e4ggstr\u00f6m-Nordin<\/a>, PhD<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"artice-notes\">\n<p>Corresponding Author:<\/p>\n<p>Atcharawadee Sriyasak, School of Health, Care and Social Welfare, M\u00e4lardalen University<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Journal<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><i>American Journal of Men&#8217;s Health<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Year:<\/span><\/strong> 2018<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1557988316651062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to see more information<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract Becoming a father for the first time might cause great changes in a man\u2019s identity and lifestyle.
