Of the 285 respondents, 5.0% of women and 5.6% of men were able to correctly report that all seven health risks increased during pregnancy. Overall, 30.6% of women and 24% of men recognized that pregnancy increased the risks of the three most serious conditions (VTE, diabetes, and HTN). While higher education was associated with a higher awareness of these three serious risks, the majority of individuals with the highest education nonetheless incorrectly reported that these risks were reduced or unchanged in pregnancy. Age, parity, language, gender, and gestational age did not impact study findings. Overall, 77.9% of respondents rated oral birth control pills more hazardous to a woman's health than pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surveyed pregnant women and male partners have significant knowledge deficiencies concerning common and serious health hazards associated with pregnancy that may hamper women's ability to make informed choices about their reproductive health options.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2018.7585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,24]],"date-time":"2019-10-24T11:05:48Z","timestamp":1571915148000},"page":"376-382","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Awareness of Pregnancy-Associated Health Risks Among Pregnant Women and Male Partners Surveyed in a Prenatal Clinic"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Michelle","family":"Mellon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Western University of Health Sciences COMP-Northwest, Lebanon, Oregon."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Schiller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western University of Health Sciences COMP, Pomona, California."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita L.","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western University of Health Sciences COMP-Northwest, Lebanon, Oregon."},{"name":"Western University of Health Sciences COMP, Pomona, California."},{"name":"Los Angeles BioMedical Research Institute at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, California."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hindi E.","family":"Stohl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000002114"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6818e1"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","unstructured":"Severe maternal morbidity in the United States.
