Neural tube defects (NTDs) can cause early death or lifelong disability. Preventing NTDs provides a feasible, significant opportunity to decrease the toll of birth defects and contribute to further reducing child mortality globally. The Micronutrient Forum convened a technical consultation on <jats:italic>Folate Status in Women and Neural Tube Defects Prevention<\/jats:italic> to develop a roadmap to inform and prioritize investments in NTD prevention in LMICs; help guide implementation efforts in terms of the feasibility of interventions and the potential for acceleration; and identify research and knowledge gaps. Here, we describe the impetus for and approach to the consultation and present the conclusions and a framework for developing a roadmap for action to accelerate NTD prevention in LMICs. The framework (1) provides options for action on folate status assessment; (2) outlines a way forward to develop and implement a time\u2010bound global action plan for NTD prevention; and (3) identifies common impediments to NTD prevention, broad strategies to overcome or minimize these impediments, and basic building blocks necessary to accelerate action.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/nyas.13593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,13]],"date-time":"2018-03-13T08:25:11Z","timestamp":1520929511000},"page":"5-19","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Improving maternal folate status to prevent infant neural tube defects: working group conclusions and a framework for action"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"1414","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1435-0306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Homero","family":"Martinez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Micronutrient Forum  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aliki P.","family":"Weakland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Core Engagement LLC  Fort Collins Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lynn B.","family":"Bailey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Foods and Nutrition, University of Georgia  Athens Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo D.","family":"Botto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah  Salt Lake City Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luz Maria","family":"De\u2010Regil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition International  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth H.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation  Fairfield California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199911113412006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"United Nations.2015.Sustainable development goals.
