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.
