Should I Have an Elective Induction? The SELECTION Study

The goal of the proposed study is to perform a pilot test of a patient-centered decision support tool to help pregnant people and providers work together in making informed, shared decisions regarding whether or not to opt for elective IOL at 39 weeks gestation

Study Overview

Detailed Description

60 nulliparous pregnant people with singleton, vertex pregnancies at 36-38 weeks who do not have an indication for induction of labor (IOL) will be enrolled and will view a decision support tool (DST) regarding induction without medical indication. During the enrollment face-to-face interview, participants will interact with the DST and complete pre- and post-DST viewing questionnaires. The investigators will conduct telephone interviews a few days later but before 39+0 weeks, and again 2-4 weeks postpartum and will review the medical record for delivery events and outcomes.
