The specialized consultation for family planning and reproductive risk in the Area III Polyclinic of Cienfuegos provided an opportunity to develop the assessment of life quality in women whose records accounted for preconception risk. A one year study was conducted. The performances of different scales of life quality in the patients studied were compared at the point of admission in the specialized services and one year after the intervention.
