简要总结
Many women and men in fertile age are at risk for sexual transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, and have insufficient knowledge of health promoting lifestyle prior to conception. There is a need to increase awareness among people in fertile age about how sexual risk-taking and unhealthy lifestyle can negatively affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies on preconception health and care have mainly focused on women. The aim of our study was to investigate if Reproductive Life Plan-based counseling with a midwife could increase men's reproductive knowledge. The second aim was to evaluate men's experiences of the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge of reproduction, measured by a total knowledge score
时间窗: 2-3 months after the intervention
Knowledge of reproduction will be measured by knowledge of the following items: * the viability of an ovum * the viability of sperm * how likely it is that a 25-year old women gets pregnant if she has unprotected intercourse at the time of ovulation * at what age there is a marked decline in women's ability to become pregnant * the proportion of infertility-cases that are caused by a male factor * success rate of IVF-treatment The outcome will be given as a total score, based on number of correct answers to the items above, and compared to the total score at baseline
Knowledge of lifestyle related factors that can affect fertility, measured by the total number of factors mentioned
时间窗: 2-3 months after the intervention
The participants will be asked to mention as many factors as they can remember that * can impair male fertility * could be modified in the preconception period to increase the chances of conception and having a healthy offspring The number of factors mentioned after the intervention will be compared to the number of factors mentioned at baseline
