这项试验的首要目标是确定在接受不孕症治疗的夫妇中，包括饮食叶酸和锌补充的干预措施是否改善了精液质量和不育治疗结果。如果有效和安全，这种干预将会对公众健康产生相当大的影响，并为临床医生提供一种简单而廉价的治疗方案，用于治疗精液质量不佳的男性。以下研究目标是成功实现总体研究目标的基础。

The overarching goal of this trial is to determine if an intervention comprising dietary folate and zinc supplementation improves semen quality and infertility treatment outcomes among couples undergoing infertility treatment. If efficacious and safe, such an intervention would have considerable public health impact and afford clinicians a simple and inexpensive treatment option for men with suboptimal semen quality. The following study objective underlie successful attainment of the overarching research goal.
