Summary
This study tested whether a structured, four-week education program based on the transtheoretical model (stages of change) could help women aged 18-49 improve risky lifestyle behaviors before pregnancy. 108 women who were sexually active and planning pregnancy within two years took part. The program covered planning, preparation, action, and sustainability. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce risky behaviors and promote healthier habits before conception.
