Presentations will focus on innovative strategies to help insure healthy birth outcomes. Speakers will discuss a multifaceted educational and social marketing approach to enable providers to promote folic acid consumption, a community-based outreach model to inform women and their providers about folic acid to prevent NTDs, a state and local collaborative effort to promote healthy weight before conception, and a toolkit of resources for providers and consumers to reduce adverse birth outcomes. | |||
