Impact of early preeclampsia prediction on medication adherence and behavior change: a survey of pregnant and recently-delivered individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behavior change and medication adherence represent potential barriers to optimal prevention of pregnancy complications including preeclampsia. We sought to evaluate baseline sentiments on pregnancy care and medication amenability, and how these measures would be impacted by early predictive testing for preeclampsia.

Methods

We developed a digital survey to query participants' baseline sentiments on pregnancy care, knowledge about pregnancy complications, and views on a hypothetical test to predict preeclampsia. The survey was administered online to pregnant and recently-delivered individuals in the United States. Survey data were analyzed using pooled two-sample proportion z-tests with adjustment for multiple comparisons.

Results

One thousand and twenty-two
