Preconception Checklist

Most pregnancies are unplanned; therefore, it is beneficial to assess preconception health with all female patients of childbearing age during routine checkups. The March of Dimes in conjunction with the Greater Adirondack Perinatal Network has developed a screening and counseling tool for health care providers to use with their patients.

Just Download and Use
Providers can use this one-page tool to initiate discussions about preconception care. This list offers a series of essential questions that help providers develop good clinical management plans. Patients are given the checklist at the reception desk and are asked to fill it out before seeing the provider.
