HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

We are currently reviewing international data on potential risk factors for birth defects and the related prevention policies and recommendations. These risk factors range from maternal diabetes, to smoking, immunizations, and lack of use of folic acid (see the attached table for the full list of risk factors of interest in the study)

The risk factors we are evaluating are obviously related to general good health for women and for men. However the specific focus of our interest is limited to the birth defects and than to the women in reproductive age.

We are interested to collect data on prevalence of risk factors and information on the prevention policies recommended by public health organizations, scientific societies or other organizations.
