Abstract

Folic acid in human nutrition Hispanic Americans Spanish language
In the United States, Spanish-speaking populations are at increased risk versus English-speakers for neural tube birth defects, associated with folic acid (FA) deficiency. These defects include spina bifida and anencephaly. This project was motivated by our review of evidence showing that Spanish-speaking communities demonstrate a special need for education and promotional services to better understand the critical role of FA in prenatal care.
