Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate a skill-based, computer intervention designed to facilitate effective prenatal visit communication for women with restricted literacy.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary aim of the study is to develop and evaluate a skills-based, interactive computer intervention designed to enhance the communication skills of pregnant women with restricted literacy. To this end, a randomized trial compared a skill-based computer intervention to a facilitated review of pertinent print-based educational material on communication processes and its consequences. Intervention impact was evaluated through medical visit recordings and post-visit assessments by patients and clinicians. We hypothesized that women assigned to the skills-based, computer intervention would demonstrate greater use of targeted skills, be more actively engaged in the communication process, and experience more patient-centered visits than women assigned to the print-based intervention. We also hypothesized that computer use would result in greater visit satisfaction and closer patient and clinician alignment in their assessment of the patient's physical and emotional health status.. Study Design included 84 women seeing 19 obstetrical clinicians were randomized to use an interactive, skill-based, computer program or to a personalized review of a prenatal guide. Prenatal visits were recorded and coded using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). Post-visit satisfaction and perceptions of physical and emotional health were reported. Analysis adjusted for the nesting of patients within physicians, gestation, literacy and visit length. ;
