Samenvatting van de aanvraag

'Parents to be' is a project that evaluates routine preconception advice and counselling given to couples before pregnancy (PAC), initiated and given by their own general practitioner (GP) in order to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. The couples' personal situation is evaluated with respect to risk factors for the pregnancy and the unborn child. Questions are asked about the couples' medical history, medication, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol consumption and nutritional habits) as well as about hereditary and congenital disorders in the family. If specific risk factors are found the couple receives information about these personal risk factors along with information on general risk factors for pregnancy. The GP offers general and specific health education and refers to a specialist if genetic counselling is needed. The current stage of the project is to study the effect of routine PAC on health behaviour, risk perception, frequency of risk factors in the general population and process evaluation of routine PAC.
