Folic acid awareness low among Texas border families
The Texas Neural Tube Defect Project warns that only about five percent of border women who bore healthy babies took folic acid before conception. TDH interim results from 124 pregnancies show one repeat birth with NTD when folic acid was used. Officials plan March of Dimes funded outreach and continue enrollment through Aug. 15 for the intervention study and May 15 for the case control study.
