Infertility Clinical Trial
Official title:
Increasing the Use of Donated Embryos: A Demonstration
The purpose of this study is to improve patient understanding of and interest in donating frozen embryos resulting from in vitro fertilization (IVF) to others undergoing infertility treatment.
The first phase of this study involves the mailing of a survey to current Boston IVF
patients who have embryos frozen in storage. A survey will be sent to these individuals to
assess their knowledge and understanding of frozen embryos and if they would be interested
in embryo donation.
The second phase of research will randomize these patients into two groups: control and
intervention. The control groups will receive their standard of treatment regarding frozen
embryos, which consists of receiving a yearly storage bill. The intervention group will
receive a letter from their physician of record and a follow up phone call from a research
assistant offering the opportunity to schedule a consult with a licensed social worker at
Boston IVF. The consult is meant to serve as a chance to discuss the difficult decision
around embryo disposition. The consult for these patient will be free of charge, covered
with funds from our grant. Additional enhanced support services and educational services
provided by embryologists, nurses and physicians in the Frozen Embryo Donation Service will
be offered. These enhanced services will also be free of charge to subjects.
The third phase of the study includes the mailing of a letter to a random sample of patients
with embryos frozen in storage at Boston IVF. This letter will be an invitation to contact
Boston IVF to schedule a consult with a licensed social worker to discuss embryo disposition
options. The consult for these patient will be free of charge, covered with funds from our
grant.
