Perspectives on the 'Planting the seed' preconception health tool among women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

Description 
'Planting the seed' facilitates pregnancy intention screening in the non-pregnant population. However, this tool has not been assessed among women from CALD backgrounds in Australia, which is a priority group known to have poorer perinatal outcomes than Australian-born women. Focus group discussions will be conducted with women from diverse backgrounds to help develop a culturally responsive modification to 'Planting the seed' to improve preconception health and pregnancy outcomes for these women.
