Summary

This study looks at whether a web-based decision aid helps parents of unborn or newborn babies with life-threatening congenital heart disease make informed medical choices. About 135 parents will be randomly assigned to use the decision aid alone or with an extra values-clarification exercise. The main goal is to see if these tools reduce parents' stress and improve decision quality three months after the decision.
