The order in which information is presented can affect memory, persuasiveness, and treatment choice, but the effect of order of information presentation in the context of neonatal resuscitation has received little attention. Additionally, the effect of including a description of the long and intense time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on parental treatment decision making is also unexplored. Current evidence suggests that pictographs best convey numerical information to parents.\n\nThree pictographs were developed based on NICHD data for 22 weeks gestational age (GA) babies who received intensive care. One pictograph displayed information on the rates of disability in the babies who survive. Two pictographs displayed information about how many babies born at 22 weeks survive, with one of these pictographs including a description of the average course of NICU stay.\n\nAn internet survey was sent to a U.S. representative sample of women of child-bearing age. A vignette including background on prematurity and the treatment options of intensive care or comfort care for a baby born at 22 weeks GA was presented. Participants viewed the pictographs, evenly randomized to one of four experimental conditions (order of information presentation x level of description of NICU course). Participants were then asked to choose intensive care or comfort care. Participant religiosity, values (quality vs. sanctity of life), autonomy preferences in medical decision making, previous NICU exposure, numeracy, and health literacy were also assessed.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'genderBased': True, 'genderDescription': 'The survey was distributed only to women.', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women of childbearing age (defined as 18-50) living in the U.S.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Minors, those unable to read English, and those who only could complete the survey on their phone.
