NCT01784575 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 746

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Numerous factors prevent consumers from making effective use of publicly reported information about the quality of health care, including limited recognition that quality of care varies between physicians, lack of awareness of the existing quality websites, limited internet access, and low health literacy and numeracy. In the proposed randomized controlled trial we will evaluate the impact of providing assistance for using and interpreting information about the quality of pediatric care on the Massachusetts Health Quality Partners Quality Insights website among a population of low income pregnant women. Results of the study will advance our understanding of effective strategies for overcoming barriers to using publicly reported information among vulnerable populations.
