The Periviable GOALS Decision Support Tool

16-item Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) administered during Zoom interview. There are 5 response categories, ranging from 0 (no decisional conflict) to 100 (extremely high decisional conflict).

21-item knowledge scale, administered in-person prior to delivery. Scores range from 0-21 with higher scores indicating greater knowledge.

5-item Decision Regret Scale, administered in person or via phone/Zoom call at three time points. There are 5 response categories ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree) with higher scores correlating to higher decision regret.

5-item subscale from the Decision Evaluation Scale, administered in-person or via phone/Zoom call at three time points. There are five responses ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) with higher scores correlating to lower decision control.

9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), administered in-person and via phone/Zoom calls at four time points. Participants are asked to indicate how much they have been bothered by a list of problems over the last two weeks. There are 4 response ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (nearly every day). Total scores range from 0-27 and are organized into 5 categories: minimal depression (0-4), mild depression (5-9), moderate depression (10-14), moderately severe depression (15-19), and severe depression (20-27).

7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), administered in-person and via phone/Zoom calls at four time points. Participants are asked to indicate how much they have been bothered by a list of problems over the last two weeks. There are 4 responses ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (nearly every day). Total scores range from 0-21 and are organized into 4 categories: minimal anxiety (0-4), mild anxiety (5-9), moderate anxiety (10-14), and severe anxiety (15-21).

22-item Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R), administered in-person or via phone/Zoom call. Participants are asked to indicate how much they were distressed or bothered during the past seven days by each difficulty listed, in relation to losing their child to periviable delivery or their delivery experience (if their child survived). There are 5 response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely) with total scores ranging from 0-88. Scores of 33 or higher indicates a probable diagnoses for PTSD.

Medical records will be reviewed for documentation of parental treatment preference (attempt resuscitation vs. palliation), treatment provided, and neonatal outcome (death, neurodevelopmental impairment, gestational age at delivery). The investigators will also assess treatment preferences at the first interview to account for baseline difference. To do so, participants will be asked whether they have been asked to make any treatment decisions regarding their baby, and if so, the types of decisions they were asked to make. If the participant identifies resuscitation versus palliative care as a decision they have been asked to make, they will be asked about their preference regarding these two options. If they make no mention of resuscitation the investigators will ask if the doctors have discussed resuscitation (Y/N), comfort care (Y/N), and then ask if they have decided which treatment option they prefer (Resuscitation, Comfort Care, Undecided).

Medical records will be reviewed for documentation of neonatal treatment provided (resuscitation vs. palliation).

Medical records will be reviewed for documentation of neonatal outcome (death, neurodevelopmental impairment, gestational age at delivery).

Decision Aid Acceptability Questionnaire that elicits feedback from viewers of the GOALS DST including acceptability of format, whether the information was presented in a balanced/fair manner, clarity of information, helpfulness of the DST, and whether users would recommend it to other parents. Will be administered in-person, immediately following viewing the Periviable GOALS DST.

10-item Preparation for Decision Making Scale (PrepDM) that covers all of the core attributes for assessing the quality of the decision-making process except the extent to which patients feel informed about options and outcomes. Will be administered in-person, immediately following viewing the Periviable GOALS DST.

There are 5 response categories ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a great deal) with higher scores indicating higher perceived level of preparation for decision making.

6-item Satisfaction with Decision Scale, administered in-person or via phone/Zoom call at three time points. There are 5 response categories ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) with higher scores correlating to higher decision satisfaction.
