About this trial
This study aims to create a novel visual education tool that builds on the urgent maternal warning signs identified by The Council on Patient Safety in Women's Health Care. Including effective images will improve the understanding of these grave warning signs/symptoms, improving anatomical accuracy while remaining simplistic for patients of varying levels of health care literacy. The investigative team will be focusing on urgent warning signs pertinent to the postpartum period.
