Summary

Sixteen years have passed since the Centers for Disease Control recommended routine preconception screening and counseling in primary care settings, yet time constraints and low preconception counseling adherence have prevented widespread uptake. This innovative, self-selected preconception screening tool encourages participants to be active in their own care and eliminates the time burden associated with typical pre-selected screening in clinics. This project will generate important knowledge about the promise of utilizing a participant-selected preconception screening tool to promote preconception health behavior change during routine medical encounters for women of reproductive age.
