Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Survey to Determine Utility and Effect of Educational Materials

  In order to assess the educational value of the pamphlet provided to parturients we evaluated all the questions pertaining education. There is no nominal value reported in units as all the data is merely described as the percentage of patients responding to educational questions. For example, 93% of patients (91/98) responded Yes to the question -Do you think the pamphlet you received did a better job explaining your options for control of labor pain than what you answered in the previous question \<patient research\>?

  expected average of no later than 48 hours following delivery
