North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG)

Annotation: The North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG) fosters the scholarly, scientific, and clinical study of the biopsychosocial aspects of obstetric and gynecologic medicine. Although the primary focus is often on women, this does not preclude the study of men insofar as they are involved with women in couple communications, sexual, reproductive, and parenting behavior. The society was formed in 1971 as an independent body after existing as a special interest group of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) since the early 1960's. The society remains an affiliate organization of ACOG. NASPOG conducts an annual meeting during February-March each year holding abstract presentations, poster sessions, and symposia with invited speakers. The annual meeting serves as a forum for scientific and clinical discussions.
