Mobile Video Education to Improve Patient Clinician Communication During Prenatal Clinic Visits

March 3, 2026 updated by: Mir A Basir, Medical College of Wisconsin

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an animated video delivered by text message in patients whose pregnancies are complicated with fetal anomalies. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the video intervention prepare parents to talk to the doctors during prenatal appointments?

Participants will be randomized to receive either the video intervention or links to the clinic's webpages. They will complete an enrollment survey before their appointment and a follow up survey after their appointment.

The researchers will compare the video and webpage groups to see which group reports engaging in more of the identified best-practices of communication.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Video Intervention
Participants assigned to the video intervention group receive a text message prior to their prenatal fetal anomaly appointment. Embedded in that text message is a link to an animated video which provides education on best practices of communicating with providers.
Other: Video Intervention
Animated video delivered by text message to prepare parents to communicate with physicians at their upcoming appointment for a fetal anomaly concern.
Active Comparator: Webpage links
Participants assigned to the webpage links group receive links to the clinic's publicly available webpages prior to their prenatal fetal anomaly appointment. The webpages provide background about the providers and services available as well as a tour of the clinic.
Other: Webpage links
Links to publicly available webpages about the fetal concerns clinic where the participants' appointments are scheduled.
