Folic Acid Every Day Toolkit

The Folic Acid Every Day toolkit is an educational program and resource kit about folic acid and neural tube defects. It may be used to educate health care professionals, consumers and patients. The toolkit was developed by faculty in the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department at the University of Florida.

The toolkit includes lesson plans, handouts, a DVD with two videos, a CD-ROM with program materials, and an interactive learning tool for designing meals. It is available in English and Spanish and may be purchased by calling (352) 392-1764 or by visiting IFAS Books.

An online training module helps health care professionals learn about the kit and how to use it effectively with different audiences. To access the training module, visit the Web site of the Florida Folic Acid Coalition.

The March of Dimes supported the development of this program.
