To create an awareness among women and to update the knowledge of health personnel about neural tube defects (NTDs) and folate in order to reduce the incidence of NTD in Narlidere, Izmir.
In 2006, a regional campaign was organized in Narlidere, Izmir that aimed at informing women of child-bearing age on folic acid and prevention of NTD. Nearly 4400 women participated in the study. By means of questionnaires the level of knowledge before and after the intervention was evaluated.
Before the campaign was carried out, 18% of women had heard of folic acid. Their level of knowledge increased after the campaign (p < 0.0001). Post-intervention scores of high school and university graduates and women with high or middle income, as well as those having a friend or kin with spina bifida were found to have significantly improved.
The pilot community-based training programme was very successful. Similar programmes, integrated within routine health care services, promoting the use of folic acid will be fostered in the whole country.
提高女性对神经管缺陷（NTDs）和叶酸的认识，并更新卫生人员的相关知识，以降低伊兹密尔纳尔利德雷地区神经管缺陷的发生率。
2006年，在伊兹密尔纳尔利德雷组织了一项区域活动，旨在向育龄妇女宣传叶酸和预防神经管缺陷。近4400名妇女参与了该研究。通过问卷调查评估干预前后的知识水平。
在活动开展前，18%的妇女听说过叶酸。活动后她们的知识水平有所提高（p < 0.0001）。发现高中和大学毕业生、高收入或中等收入女性以及有患脊柱裂朋友或亲属的女性干预后的得分有显著提高。
基于社区的试点培训项目非常成功。将在全国推广类似项目，并将其纳入常规医疗服务中，以促进叶酸的使用。
