Summary

Women recruited from the internet were put in a hypothetical situation of being in labor at 22 weeks of pregnancy, and presented with information in the form of pictographs about survival and disability of babies born at this gestational age.

Participants were randomized to receive these pictographs in a different order (survival or disability first) and to receive descriptiveness level of survival (just numerical information, or also description of course of NICU stay).

Participants were then asked to choose between comfort care and intensive care in this situation. Participants' religiosity, value of the sanctity of life, and health literacy were also assessed.
