Results from the 2022 CMV PHP conference workshop on developing consensus for smartphone based CMV educational messages.
Abstract Summary
Toward closing the CMV knowledge gap among pregnant women, we are designing a prenatal CMV education program that uses a novel instructional text-messaging technique. Women attending prenatal clinics will be surveyed at their first visit, periodically through pregnancy, and post-partum. They will receive short educational messages. We will measure in aggregate whether enrolled women increase their knowledge of CMV from baseline. Messages used in such an educational program must be at appropriate health literacy level. At the 2022 Ottawa PHP conference, we conducted a workshop to obtain attendee input on the complexity (wording and health literacy level) of draft educational messages. We used a modified Delphi Method using Google Form surveys, with the goal of reaching consensus on approximately 10 educational messages. The survey rounds were followed by an open discussion on prenatal cCMV education. Participants voted on whether an individual message constituted information that was “not useful,” “basic level,” “second tier” or “third tier” in terms of complexity. Survey round 1 consisted of 38 educational messages. 14 participants ranked each message. To winnow down messages for Survey round 2, we retained only messages that >50% of participants ranked as “basic level” information. In the next phase we intend to electronically survey larger groups of stakeholders, to determine a final list of short educational messages with the appropriate wording and health literacy level. These messages will be used in our future prenatal CMV education program, and potentially in other CMV education programs. The presentation's goal is to demonstrate one method of developing a prenatal cCMV education program.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how a modified Delphi method can be used to establish consensus
- Participate in survey-based research to evaluate appropriately worded CMV educational messages
- Recognize the potential for smartphone-based interactive text messaging to educate about CMV
