Abstract

The reproductive life plan tool is severely underutilized, yet has proven to be successful in improving preconception health. The majority of resources utilizing a reproductive life plan tool are tailored to heterosexual women. However, millions of individuals in the United States do not fall under that classification. In addition, existing reproductive life plan tools treat reproduction as a dichotomous decision. In reality, a reproductive life plan is much more complex than the decision to have, or not to have children. The development and incorporation into health professionals education of a reproductive life plan tool that is inclusive of all gender identities and sexualities could greatly improve preconception health, and have positive impact on the physical and mental health of individuals of reproductive age.
