title: [The primary prophylaxis of neural tube defects in the Podkarpacian region].
abstract: The paper presents results of investigations carried out in years 2002/ 2003 on prevalence of primary prophylaxis of neural tube defects among children 0 to 3 years old. Subjects were 222 healthy mothers residing in the Podkarpacian region. The results indicate that primary prophylaxis of neural tube defects is propagated quite poorly in this region. A dominant role in its spreading play physicians and at the same time, other sources of knowledge are marginal. There is a strong need for intensification of activities of this kind.
