Pre-pregnancy, the phase before conception, is an opportunity for health professionals to work with women and their partners to enhance health and pregnancy outcomes by managing risk factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical and mental health conditions. General practice electronic medical records (EMRs) store information relating to a patient\u2019s medical and lifestyle risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and current medical conditions. The information recorded in these EMRs could potentially assist clinicians in general practice, including general practitioners (GPs) and practice nurses (PNs), to identify and invite women who could most benefit from<\/span>\u200b<\/span> pre-pregnancy<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span> care<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>Our current study \u201cGeneral practice <\/span>\u200b<\/span>pre-pregnancy care<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span> invitations: A qualitative study of women’s acceptability and preferences\u201d published in <\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200bBMJ<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Sexual and Reproductive Health, investigated women\u2019s acceptability and preferences for receiving pre-pregnancy care invitations from general practice settings. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>Our study reports 4 main findings: <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b>(1) <\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/b>Receiving a <\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/b>pre-pregnancy<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/b> care invitation is acceptable to women. <\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>Women indicated support for receiving invitations for pre-pregnancy care from general practices and felt it would be a valuable and important reminder. However, using respectful and appropriate language to avoid offending or stigmatising women was raised as being very important. <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>It is also necessary to be mindful that some of the invitees will <\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span>have completed their families, have infertility conditions, or may not wish to have <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span>children<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span>. <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>The respondents also proposed modifying new patient forms and patient EMRs to gather more information on reproductive intentions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(2) <\/strong>Te<\/strong>xt or email invitations outlining consultation details were preferred.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Women preferred receiving text or email invitations compared to telephone calls or letters. Texts were perceived to be more user-friendly and emails could provide more detailed information and appointment-booking links.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(3) \u200b\u200b<\/span><\/strong>Re<\/strong>ceiving an invitation may increase the likelihood that women who have risk factors, comorbidities or are actively planning conception will access pre-pregnancy care.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Women who were actively thinking about having a baby and\/or who had known health conditions (e.g. diabetes) were more likely to be interested in making a pre-pregnancy care appointment after being invited by their general practice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(4) <\/strong>He<\/strong>alth promotion strategies that increase awareness of pre-pregnancy care could increase the uptake of pre-pregnancy care in general practice.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women suggested various health promotion strategies could increase awareness and uptake of pre-pregnancy care in general practice. In addition to being invited, as described above, women <\/span>\u200b<\/span>also <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>suggested promoting <\/span>\u200b<\/span>the availability of <\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>pre-pregnancy through general practice newsletters, waiting room or bathroom posters, and phone recordings when on-hold for appointment bookings. Women also supported integrating pre-pregnancy care with other GP consultations, such as for contraception or cervical screening.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our study demonstrated that using EMRs to identify and invite women with preconception health risk factors for pre-pregnancy care is acceptable to women. A text\/email message outlining the details of what the pre-pregnancy care consultation would involve was preferred. Participants actively considering pregnancy or with known risk factors or health conditions felt they were more likely to respond to the pre-pregnancy care invite and make an appointment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
