NCT02746601 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 2016-1
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 300
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 5

Brief Summary

The purpose of the research is to identify the prevalence of preconception health (PCH) risk factors in the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) catchment area and to determine whether or not a client-driven electronic preconception health risk assessment tool "My Health eSnapshot", for use during healthcare visits, will increase preconception health knowledge and behaviour change among women of reproductive age (15-49 years).

Conditions

Preconception Care; Health Information Technology; Primary Health Care; Risk Assessment

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Patient-reported risk factors as assessed by Risk Assessment Tool

  Patient completes a risk assessment tool in their healthcare provider's office on a tablet, prior to an appointment with their Health Care Provider

  Baseline

• Patient-reported feedback on Risk Assessment, Counselling, and Resources as assessed by a One-Week Survey

  The patient will complete an online survey tool in their home one week after completing the risk assessment tool. The survey asks questions about their experience competing the risk assessment tool, talking with their health care provider, and receiving their customized patient handout. The patient will also provide feedback on the strengths and limitations of the risk assessment tool and patient handout. This feedback will contribute to future modifications to study tools and processes.

  One week

• Patient-reported health behaviour change and motivation for health behaviour change as assessed by a two-month survey

  Patient complete an online survey tool in their home two months after completing the risk assessment tool. The survey asks questions about whether there has been any changes in motivation regarding changing health behaviours and whether any changes have actually been made to the health behaviours.
