NCT ID NCT05671224
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a visual aid—a handout and video explaining different methods of inducing labor—can improve knowledge, satisfaction, and trust among pregnant women scheduled for induction. The study focuses on historically marginalized women and compares the visual aid to standard education. Researchers will measure how much women learn about induction and how they feel about their care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Visual aid: handout and video describing induction of labor methods
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this visual aid could become a simple tool to help pregnant women better understand induction of labor and feel more informed and satisfied with their care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site trial with 85 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The visual aid may not significantly improve knowledge or trust compared to standard counseling.
