This study aims to empower women. There is a lack of standardised and high-quality information around modes of birth which clinicians can use to guide discussions and aid women in making an informed choice for their labour. Women want to know the risks and benefits of different birthing methods so they can have control and choose the option which is best for them. Hence, risk communication is invaluable in this context.
This study will be aiming to create a vaginal birth risk communication tool following on from a previous study where a researchers collaborated with women to create a core information set about vaginal birth. This study will include women over the age of 18 who can consent, are currently pregnant, given birth in the last 5 years, their partners as well as clinicians and relevant stakeholders. Qualitative and quantitative survey methods will be used in order to carry out this observational study. A group of clinicians and parents will be convened for this study in order to discuss what needs to be included in a risk communication tool and create multiple ‘candidate’ tools which they will test. Then a survey will be created to find out which tools are best. Prior to rolling out this survey it will be refined using think-aloud interviews. Following refinement, the survey will be shared amongst women and birthing people to see which tools are best, how risks are perceived and if numeracy levels play a role in this.,This study will be carried out in 2024 and will be conducted largely online.
