Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new model of maternity care, which includes on-site obstetricians, leads to better patient outcomes than the usual care model, which refers patients to off-site obstetricians.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals in Canada who are at least 16 years old, can understand English, and are attending their intake appointment at the Centre. There's no information on who might be excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of maternity care: usual care with referrals to off-site obstetricians versus a collaborative model with co-located healthcare professionals including obstetricians. The goal is to see if having all services in one place improves patient outcomes and reduces healthcare use.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves models of care rather than medications, there aren't typical side effects. However, different experiences or satisfaction levels may occur based on the type of care received.
