Study Summary

Women recruited from the internet will be put in a hypothetical situation of being in labor at 22 weeks of pregnancy, and presented with information on the likelihood of survival and chance of disability for babies born at this gestational age. Participants will be randomized to receive this outcome data in one of three formats: as text-only, in a static pictograph, or in an iterative pictograph. Participants will also be randomized to seeing the chance of survival as 30% or 60%. Participants were then asked to choose between comfort care and intensive care in this situation. Participants' religiosity, value of the sanctity of life, and health literacy were also assessed.

Primary Outcome

Participant's hypothetical treatment choice of either palliative care or intensive care. Participants are told: "If the child was actually born shortly after the conversation described above, which treatment would you prefer if you were in this situation?" and given the options of "Palliative care treatment" or "Intensive care treatment". This variable is assessed for the frequency of each option chosen.
