Summary

This study looks at whether special training for medical interns on how to compassionately announce an early miscarriage can improve the emotional well-being of patients. Over 600 women who had a miscarriage before 14 weeks will be asked about their psychological experience. The goal is to see if better communication from doctors can reduce distress and improve the overall experience.
