What is the role of community groups in promoting preconception health?
Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to grow a healthy baby. Creating healthy environments in which women and men can produce and raise healthy children is everyone’s responsibility. Community groups can help by educating themselves about all of the factors that influence women’s health and by taking a stand to work together for community improvements that will have an impact on their members’ health now in order to ensure the health of future generations.
