RESUMO
En Afrique; la plupart des adolescents ne savent pas grand-chose des problemes de sexualite et de reproduction. Or les infections genitales sont la cause majeure des infecondites secondaires dont la prevalence est plus elevee dans nos pays que l'infecondite primaire. Ainsi; tout programme dont l'objectif est la prevention de ces infections doit s'adresser a la population cible chez qui ces facteurs ont un impact important. Cette population n'est evidemment que celle des jeunes. Pour etre efficace; cette education des jeunes qui pourrait se faire directement ou indirectement par les services de planning familial et la sante maternelle et infantile

Screening test for maternal serum alpha feoto-protein (MS-AFP) in routine antenatal care is compulsory in most developed countries to detect neural tube defect (NTD). With the cost of suck a programme; there was a need to evaluate its need in our environment. A high risk clinic was choosen for the recruitment of the subjects to maximize the risk. Incidence of NTD could be considered to be low in Cameroon compared to countries where screening for MS-AFP is compulsory. Coupled with the low socio-economic status of our population and the lack of infrastructures; we could conclude that this screening test on a routine basis is not cost-effective
