Summary
This study will test if an interactive online module can help pregnant people learn more about sexual health and feel more comfortable discussing it with their healthcare provider. About 100 pregnant individuals will be randomly assigned to either use the interactive module or read a standard educational article. Surveys before, after, and two weeks later will measure changes in knowledge and comfort.
