First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an animated video sent by text message helps parents prepare for conversations with their doctor during prenatal visits for fetal anomalies. 48 pregnant adults were randomly assigned to receive either the video or links to clinic webpages. Researchers then compared how well each group communicated using a checklist of best practices.
