Kurtovich, Elaine Guendelman, Sylvia Neuhauser, Linda Edelman, Dana Georges, Maura Mason-Marti, Peyton UC Berkeley 2015 maternity leave pregnancy health education March of Dimes, California Chapter marchofdimes.com/ca/maternityleave Dataset 338409 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY 4.0) We developed an evidence-based maternity leave educational tool for working women in California using participatory design. We tested its short-term efficacy with a randomized controlled trial of pregnant English-speakers (n=155). Participants in the intervention group received the educational tool, while control participants did not. This dataset contains data from a postpartum online survey of these participants, including data on prenatal and postpartum leave and reasons for taking/not taking leave. Intervention participants were asked if they read the tool, how they used the tool, and how helpful it was in planning their leave.
