Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
No Intervention
Experimental
Arm Label
Standard Prenatal Care
Educational Intervention
Arm Description
Participants will receive standard prenatal care from the time they are screened for CMV to delivery. This includes a CMV brochure.
This group will be approached during a routine prenatal visit and will receive a 5-10 minute educational intervention (CMV prevention video, preventive information, weekly text messages/emails as reminders for hygiene behaviors, developmental calendar with hygiene reminders).
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in Hygiene Behaviors
The primary outcome is defined as a change in the participant's hygiene behaviors determined by the differences between the baseline and follow-up behavioral assessment compliance scores. Each question in these assessments will be assigned a score from 0-5 (5 = desired preventative behavior).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Behavior Change based on Serostatus
Did knowing the serostatus affect hygiene behavior change, as defined by a change in compliance scores between baseline and follow-up visits?
Change in K10 after Intervention
Was there a change in stress and anxiety (measured by the K10 assessment scores) before and after the intervention?
Behavior Change based on Socioeconomics
Was behavior change influenced by socioeconomic status? Behavior change is defined by the difference in compliance scores between baseline and follow-up visits
Racial associations with hygiene behavior change
Was behavior change influenced by race? Behavior change is defined by the difference in compliance scores between baseline and follow-up visits
Behavior Change related to Children at home
Was behavior change influenced by the number of children living at home? Behavior change is defined by the difference in compliance scores between baseline and follow-up visits
Behavior Change and Occupation Association
Was behavior change influenced by participants' occupation? Behavior change is defined by the difference in compliance scores between baseline and follow-up visits

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop a brief screening and behavioral intervention for the prevention of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) that will both be acceptable to clinic staff and feasible to implement as part of routine clinical prenatal care, and to test whether behavioral intervention for susceptible pregnant women can lead to a behavioral change that is likely to lead to decreased primary CMV infection. The study research assistants will enroll pregnant women who are less than 20 weeks' gestation, either English or Spanish-speaking and that do not have a primary CMV infection (never been infected or previously infected). Enrollment will occur during the woman's prenatal visit.
Detailed Description
The study is a randomized single-masked clinical trial of behavioral intervention versus standard care of pregnant women lacking evidence of acute CMV infection that have consented to be screened as part of the Maternal Fetal Medicine Units Network multi-centered randomized clinical trial, in which pregnant women are screened with CMV serology for IgM, IgG, and IgG avidity.
Eligible pregnant women will be randomized to one of two treatment groups:
Control Group - no intervention
Intervention Group - brief intervention and educational materials Written informed consent will be obtained from patients before they can be screened for the study by CMV testing (IgM, IgG, and IgG avidity) as per the protocol for screening in the MFMU study.
All women presenting for prenatal care no later than 20 weeks gestational age without a known multifetal gestation are eligible for CMV screening Those with evidence of primary infection will be offered participation in the MFMU randomized trial of CMV hyperimmune globulin to prevent congenital infection. Women lacking evidence of acute infection will be eligible for randomization into this study. Patients must be randomized no later than 20 weeks gestation.
If eligible and no more than 20 weeks gestation, the patient will be randomized. If the patient is randomized in the control group, she will continue her routine prenatal care inclusive of the CDC brochure that she received at the time of her venipuncture for serologic screening and assessment of hygiene behaviors. If the patient is randomized into the intervention group, we will deliver a face-face educational intervention during her next routine prenatal visit. In addition to the intervention, the patient will include educational material to take home.
Both groups will be assessed for performance of hygiene behaviors as a baseline assessment at the time of consent. A second assessment will occur at least 12 weeks after enrollment during the third trimester between 28-36 weeks of gestation. The follow-up assessment will be completed by a different research assistant from the unblinded educator. A Kessler 10 (K10) survey will also be completed in addition to the baseline and follow-up assessment.
The follow-up assessment will take place during the participant's third trimester between 28-36 weeks of gestation, depending on duration of enrollment and likelihood of early delivery. The enrollment duration will vary from approximately 14-20 weeks.
