What is Preconception Care?
Preconception care is recognized as a critical component of health care for women of reproductive age. The main goal of preconception care is to provide health promotion, screening and interventions for women of reproductive age to reduce risk factors that might affect future pregnancies. Through a two-year collaborative effort, CDC has successfully aligned the efforts of a number of its external partners and internal programs to develop a set of 10 recommendations for improving preconception health and care. These recommendations serve as a strategic plan for improving the health of women, their children, and their families. [Proceedings]
