• January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month, and Jan 9-Jan 15 is National Folic Acid Awareness Week. Birth defects affect approximately 120,000 newborns in the US each year; they are the leading cause of infant mortality and contribute substantially to long-term disability. The focus of this year's Birth Defects Prevention Month is preconceptional health.
