Early Education of Prematurity in High Risk Pregnancies—A Pilot Study
Prematurity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Given the high risk of
death and disability, it is important for parents to understand the complications of
prematurity so they can make decisions for their child. Unfortunately, these discussions
often occur in the acute setting of threatened preterm labor when stress and anxiety make
comprehension difficult. This study aims to improve parental understanding by providing early
education of prematurity in the clinic setting for patients at high risk of preterm delivery.
