Preconception counseling and women's compliance with folic acid supplementation
Can Fam Physician.
1999 Sep.
Abstract
Question: I am counseling patients to take folic acid when they plan pregnancy and during early pregnancy. Is there any proof that counseling really causes women to comply?
Answer: A recent Motherisk study showed that counseling women who were planning pregnancy about folic acid use is very effective: 71% of those counseled took folic acid, compared with only 17% of those who were not counseled.
