This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


Enabling women and birthing people to make decisions about their care by providing them with the necessary information to make decisions is vital. In this study we will build a consensus around the core information that should be provided about induction of labour and caesarean birth, we will do this separately for each topic. To do this we will review existing leaflets and literature, analyse existing data from interviews and carry out an online survey of parents, health and medicolegal professionals, and other interested groups. Once we have collected all of the possible information points, we will develop a survey, test it with users, and then recruit participants, from the previously mentioned groups, to identify how important each of the information elements is to them. We will undertake two rounds of this survey with important or controversial items going through to the second round, to ensure that the items included in the final list are the most important ones. We will finalise the core information sets at a consensus meeting of stakeholders.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
