The IPC is an 18-question questionnaire that asks participants about their experience with receiving care within a specific clinic (in this case the Duke Perinatal Durham Clinic). All IPC items use an identical set of response options: 1='never'; 2='rarely'; 3='sometimes'; 4='usually'; 5='always.' Item responses are averaged, not summed; thus, scores have a possible range of 1-5. All scales are scored so that higher scores indicate higher frequency of the labeled interpersonal process: Lack of clarity (higher scores are negative), Elicits concern (higher scores are positive), and Explain results (higher scores are positive).

The MSSS is a six-question scale that quantifies a pregnant woman's social support. Social factors (lack of family support, low friendship network, lack of help from spouse/partner, conflict with spouse/partner, feeling controlled by spouse/partner, and feeling unloved by spouse/partner) are combined in a 6-item self-report 5-point Likert scale. The total possible score for the scale is between 6 and 30, with higher scores indicating increased support.
