An age and sex matched group of babies born at GH Kandy with no obvious abnormalities was selected as the control. To increase statistical confidence we took 3 controls for 1 case. A pre-tested questionnaire was administered to obtain data. While interviewing, we counselled all mothers about value of pre-conceptional FA usage. Results: During the study period 14,580 live births took place at GH Kandy and twenty of them had NTDs. The number of babies with NTDs transferred from other hospitals was 30. The control group comprised 150 mothers with normal babies. Fourteen (28%) of the affected group were able to identify folic acid tablet as a vitamin taken during pregnancy, in comparison to 87 (58%) of the control group. One (2%) from the affected group and 70 (46%) from the control group knew about the value of pre-conceptional FA. None of the affected mothers had used FA pre-conceptionally whereas 20 (13%) of the control group had used it. Four (8%) of the affected mothers identified preventing birth defects as the primary reason to take FA whereas 54 (26%) of the control group mothers believed that folic acid helped in preventing birth defects. Awareness of FA usage came mainly from midwives.
