Predictors of Insufficient Preconception Multivitamin Use: An IMPLICIT Network Study.

Introduction: Adequate maternal nutrition before pregnancy is important to reduce the risk of poor birth outcomes. However, patients report suboptimal intake of multivitamins with folic acid (MVIs).

Methods: We conducted a quality improvement study to identify predictors of insufficient multivitamin use in women of childbearing age at five University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) family health centers that implemented the IMPLICIT interconception care (ICC) model of maternal health screenings during well-child visits (WCVs).
