This webcast will present the new Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative (CCGC) guideline on Preconception and Interconception Care for ALL women of childbearing age. Since the next CCGC membership meeting is not until 2010, this guideline will be presented in a webinar. The webinar will provide an opportunity for the CCGC Board, Membership, and Partners to view the guideline, ask questions and provide feedback before it is sent out for a final vote.

Why should reproductive age women have preconception screening? Because 50% of pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned. Even before a woman’s 1st prenatal visit most fetal organs and placental vessels are developing. Many interventions to prevent birth defects or adverse outcomes must take place before this time to be effective.
