Summary

The overall purpose of this study is to determine whether implementing a 'Prenatal Consult Bundle' to the existing prenatal consult, including provision of sample questions, added discussion points and handouts, and a return visit, will decrease parental anxiety and improve information recall. Additionally, this study will determine if this effect is further increased with the use of illustrated literature.

Detailed description

This study will be a prospective randomized control trial. Seventy participants will be enrolled for the 'Standard' consult. These women will receive a questionnaire 6-24 hours after their consult. Then 140 participants will be randomized to either the 'Standard Upgrade' or 'Illustrated Upgrade' arm. Randomization will additionally be stratified based on estimated gestational age. These participants will receive an upgraded consult implementing the 'Prenatal Consult Bundle' which emphasizes the parents' role and follow up, with or without an illustrated handout. These participants will receive the same questionnaire 6-24 hours after their consult. Demographic information collected will include maternal age, gravidity, use of magnesium, social support and health literacy. All data will be collected to assess whether either arm of the consult 'upgrade' reduces anxiety or improves knowledge retention after the prenatal consult. Analyses will be completed using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) using appropriate statistical testing.
