Clinical Trial Summary

This project aims to evaluate the impacts of group prenatal education and online prenatal education on health determinants and users' health status.

Description:

Prenatal education is a core component of perinatal care and services provided by health institutions. Whereas group prenatal education is the most common educational model, some health institutions have opted to implement online prenatal education to address accessibility issues as well as the evolving needs of future parents. This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the impacts of group prenatal education and online prenatal education on health determinants and the perinatal health status of parents. It is part of a larger multipronged study using mixed methods.
