Abstract

To investigate the folic acid intake of young women ages 18-24. Nonexperimental, descriptive survey. Small private college in western North Carolina. A convenience sample of 42 female college students ages 18-24. Survey of demographics, folic acid intake, knowledge of folic acid, and pregnancy contemplation. All participants were found to have an inadequate diet and an inadequate intake of folic acid. Only 33.3% reported taking daily multivitamins. These findings may be attributed to the participants' lack of knowledge about folic acid and the birth defects it helps to prevent. Inadequate folic acid intake is common in young women ages 18-24. These young women frequently have poor nutritional habits and are usually noncontemplators of pregnancy.
