Young Latina adults require targeted health messages to meet the unique needs of this life stage. Folic acid messages for the prevention of neural tube defects that are effective for other women might not be relevant to this group. The aim of this study was to identify barriers and motivators to folic acid consumption for this population and develop educational materials and messages that address their needs. This article presents 3 phases of formative research that formed the basis for the development of Spanish-language print materials and radio advertisements aimed at promoting folic acid consumption among young Latina adults.
年轻的拉丁裔成年人需要有针对性的健康信息来满足这个生命阶段的独特需求。对于其他女性有效的预防神经管缺陷的叶酸信息可能与这一群体无关。本研究的目的是确定这一人群对叶酸的摄入的障碍和动机，并制定教育材料和信息来满足他们的需求。本文介绍了形成性研究的三个阶段，这些研究为开发西班牙语印刷材料和广播广告奠定了基础，旨在促进年轻拉丁裔成年人对叶酸的摄入。
