Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the research is to identify the prevalence of preconception health (PCH) risk factors in the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) catchment area and to determine whether or not a client-driven electronic preconception health risk assessment tool "My Health eSnapshot", for use during healthcare visits, will increase preconception health knowledge and behaviour change among women of reproductive age (15-49 years).

Description:

The purpose of the project is:

1. To develop a client-driven electronic preconception health client risk assessment tool for use in a primary care setting.

2. To develop a customized key message handout for patients based on their risk assessment results.

3. To determine a successful and sustainable process for healthcare providers (HCPs) to administer the risk assessment tool and discuss results with patients within their primary care setting.

4. To increase participants' knowledge of preconception health and their risk factors as a results of the risk assessment tool and discussion with their HCP.

5. To modify participants' health behaviours as a result of the risk assessment tool and discussion with their HCP.

6. To increase WDG Public Health's understanding of the most prevalent preconception health risk factors among reproductive women in WDG.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Patient-reported risk factors as assessed by Risk Assessment Tool	Patient completes a risk assessment tool in their healthcare provider's office on a tablet, prior to an appointment with their Health Care Provider	Baseline
Primary	Patient-reported feedback on Risk Assessment, Counselling, and Resources as assessed by a One-Week Survey	The patient will complete an online survey tool in their home one week after completing the risk assessment tool. The survey asks questions about their experience competing the risk assessment tool, talking with their health care provider, and receiving their customized patient handout. The patient will also provide feedback on the strengths and limitations of the risk assessment tool and patient handout. This feedback will contribute to future modifications to study tools and processes.	One week
Primary	Patient-reported health behaviour change and motivation for health behaviour change as assessed by a two-month survey	Patient complete an online survey tool in their home two months after completing the risk assessment tool. The survey asks questions about whether there has been any changes in motivation regarding changing health behaviours and whether any changes have actually been made to the health behaviours.	Two months
