No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Post-cesarean delivery discharge instructions are not currently at an appropriate health literacy level. Enhancing discharge instructions with a visual aid did not improve scores on comprehension quizzes, either immediately or two-weeks post-discharge. However, participants preferred to have access to visual images with discharge instructions.
