As part of our project to evaluate the effectiveness of our scaling-up strategies on the involvement of pregnant women in shared decision-making regarding prenatal screening for trisomies 21, 18 and 13, we have developed several tools. These include a training module on shared decision-making for healthcare professionals. Available on the Pédagogia platform of Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine.
We have also designed a decision-support tool, available on Greybox, for pregnant women in the province of Quebec.

The project, Co-construction d'une approche intersectionnelle afin d'améliorer la prise de DÉCIsion des femmes migrantes issues DE minorités ethniques et racisées dans le parcours de soins pré et postnataux au Québec (CoDécide) is funded for the next three years and will improve the trajectory of pre- and postnatal care for migrant women in Quebec.

Congratulations and thanks to the research team, citizen partners, partner organizations and collaborators for obtaining this grant.
