Recent evidence has shown that young people that want to have children have low fertility knowledge. This study evaluates the efficacy of a video intervention on fertility knowledge, on changes in lifestyle and on the decision to start to get pregnant.

Detailed Description

This study will compare the efficacy of a video intervention versus control (no video) in couples that intend to have children in the next three years. The couples will be randomized to the two groups.
