“…The results demonstrate online screening and intervention as valid methods to screen and provide brief intervention. Landkroon et al (59) used an online version of the Preconception Health Assessment form (63) and included lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use, including prescription and over-the-counter medication, to screen women who were receiving PCC at an outpatient clinic. The authors found that use of the online version of the form was just as effective as in-person medical history assessments.…”

“…For each of these and many other genetic conditions, inadequate prenatal and postpartum care and monitoring could lead to significant morbidity or even death. Without doubt, women with genetic conditions need to be aware of the added health risk during a future pregnancy, and they should be monitored by appropriate obstetrics or maternal-fetal medicine specialists (De Weerd et al, 2012).…”

High Neonatal/Child and Maternal mortality still remain an issue of great concern in the developing countries. These mortalities are as a result of conditions or diseases that are preventable only if early detection and interventions are done. These interventions that affect the mother and child and the family at large can be achieved through adequate Preconception Care. Preconception care is therefore the interventions that aim to identify and modify biomedical, behavioral and social risks to a woman's health or pregnancy outcome through prevention and management by emphasizing those factors that must be acted on before conception or early in pregnancy to have maximal impact. Its components includes: Health promotion (for example, education and information dissemination), Nutritional planning and supplementation, Screening and vaccination for diseases known to affect maternal health and pregnancy outcomes and Family Planning. However, majority especially, the adolescences which are the group that is most affected are not aware of the preconception care and its importance before entering into relationship that leads to childbearing. This therefore has prompted the review of this topic.

The level of agreement between answers obtained by inquiring into the women’s histories and the written answers (obtained from the self-administered questionnaire) was calculated by ĸ scores.…”

“…With an overall ĸ of 0.88 (= excellent agreement level), the questionnaire proved to be a reliable and efficient screening instrument. Implementation of the questionnaire could facilitate preconceptional risk assessment in various settings: its use could save providers a great deal of time, all potentially relevant topics are listed, and it filters out relevant problems that need to be addressed further [15]. …”
