Abstract

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the evidence of the effectiveness of preconception care interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes for women with epilepsy (WWE). The objectives include:. A synthesis of quantitative data on the effectiveness of differing preconception interventions for improving pregnancy planning and fitness for pregnancy. A synthesis of qualitative data on participants' experiences, opinions and preferences regarding preconception care/counselling. A convergent synthesis integrating the results of quantitative and qualitative synthesis to address the overall review question (a results-based convergent synthesis), to enhance and extend understanding of how preconception care/counselling interventions may work and how context impacts on the implementation.
