Folic Acid

The Public Health Agency of Canada has recently launched new folic acid awareness materials including a:

•          poster

•          factsheet

•          infographic

•          video

The purpose of the materials is to increase awareness and uptake of folic acid among women of reproductive age, and to increase knowledge and influence practice of health care providers.

The poster, factsheet and video are designed for the needs of the general public. We encourage you to display the poster and also request that health care providers distribute the factsheets when discussing the importance of folic acid with clients. The video can be used in your social media feed or can be displayed on closed circuit televisions within your organizations. The infographic is targeted to health care providers, and can be shared among your colleagues to help raise their awareness on folic acid data and recommendations.

The poster, factsheet, infographic and video are available at:
