Reproductive health library in your pocket
In the project “Healthy pregnancy, good delivery: Knowledge, support and guidance for healthy family living” we promised
to take reliable sexual and reproductive health information, based on the latest research, to youth and young adults wherever
they are. During the first steps of the project, we found out that young people in fertile age use smart devices as the primary
source of information search. The leading idea of the project was the worry that information on preconception health, healthy
pregnancy and normal delivery do not reach everybody equally. There are different reasons why some people do not get the
information they need and instead they are probably getting false and misleading information from social media. On the base
of analysis of the target group, we started to create “a public reproductive health library”, which is in everybody’s hand, free of
charge, open all the time and is situated in one’s smartphone. The content was also transformed to visual, quick-read type the
young people prefer. During the oral presentation we will describe, how we developed an environment of reliable information
for millennials to promote their sexual and reproductive health, specifically their preconception health: the arguments,
problems and innovations during the process.
