Study Summary

Post-cesarean delivery discharge instructions are not currently at an appropriate health literacy level. Enhancing discharge instructions with a visual aid did not improve scores on comprehension quizzes, either immediately or two-weeks post-discharge. However, participants preferred to have access to visual images with discharge instructions.

Primary Outcome

Total score on 11-point quiz (Discharge Instructions Comprehension Quiz) administered via phone two weeks post-discharge, score range 1-11 with one point assigned for each correct answer (no subtractions for incorrect answers); higher scores are favorable indicating answers consistent with higher comprehension
