Abstract

Proposed Change The Delaware Healthy Mother and Infant Consortium recognized the need for a guidance tool for women aged 19 to 26 years that would both support the services offered under the statewide preconception care model and deliver key messaging regarding planned pregnancies. By addressing issues earlier in life such as emotional and mental health, healthy relationships, health promotion, and contraception, women are better equipped to achieve optimal wellness for a lifetime. Implementation, Outcomes, and Evaluation Set Your Mind. Set Your Goals is a broad health education strategy that includes preconception text messages, Web-based interactive education and support, and provides education on the life course perspective, and health promotion through peer educators and health ambassadors. This statewide initiative is underway and outcomes are being monitored by the Department of Health under the auspices of the Delaware Healthy Mother and Infant Consortium.
