Our project, the LOVE study, explores whether the way information is delivered to expectant parents – either through a short video or a pamphlet – affects how much fear of childbirth they feel and how confident they are in understanding their options for pain relief during labour.

We are seeking patient partners to provide feedback on the overall study design, methods of participant recruitment, and meaningful and appropriate knowledge dissemination.
