Research on Preterm Birth Prevention: The Participant Experience
Women at risk of spontaneous preterm birth were motivated for study participation by the goal of protecting other women and families from preterm birth. Participant satisfaction related to perceived improved clinical care and continuity of care. Participants had a strong appetite for results dissemination. These findings highlight the willingness of patients to participate in research, even in the setting of a pregnancy at risk of preterm birth.
