Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are Australian residents who have undergone IVF or embryo transfer in the last two years or are planning to do so within the next six months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who underwent IVF solely for egg-freezing or embryo freezing without the intention to conceive, or those participating as surrogates, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates a newly developed website called 'Evidence-based IVF' designed to inform Australian IVF patients about the effectiveness and safety of various IVF add-ons. The website was created through a collaborative process involving IVF patients and professionals, ensuring it meets patient decision aid standards. The trial will assess how well the website improves patients' understanding of IVF options and its overall acceptability. By providing reliable information, the website aims to empower patients in making informed decisions regarding their IVF treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this website could significantly improve patient knowledge and decision-making regarding IVF treatments and add-ons.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of creating evidence-based resources for IVF patients is innovative, similar initiatives in other healthcare areas have shown promise in improving patient outcomes.
