What this trial studies

This interventional study assesses whether a single printed leaflet can increase knowledge about oral health during pregnancy among patients at Hospital Universitario La Fe. Pregnant women, or those who recently gave birth, complete a knowledge questionnaire before and after receiving the leaflet. The study analyzes changes in knowledge and explores factors that may influence knowledge levels. The intervention is low-cost and delivered in Spanish, with results informing simple educational strategies for prenatal care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the leaflet could be a quick, low-cost tool to improve pregnant patients' oral health knowledge.

How similar studies have gone: Prior, similar approaches in other settings have shown small to moderate improvements in knowledge with printed education materials.
