Development of a new pregnancy informational and decisional needs survey for women with physical disabilities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While the literature on pregnancy and disability is growing, generating important knowledge of barriers to care and health risks, there is limited literature on pregnancy decision-making and informational needs. Such knowledge is critical for the development of interventions to mitigate the challenges women with disabilities and health care providers face in making this important decision.

Objective

/Hypothesis: Develop a survey of pregnancy decisional and informational needs of women with physical disabilities.

Methods

We developed a conceptual framework that guided item writing, defined the characteristics of the target population, engaged stakeholders with disabilities to collaborate with investigators, and tested the interpretability and relevance of it
