Inclusion Criteria

The proposal will contain three phases. In the first phase, we will identify facilitators and barriers of implementation of ECV. Subsequently, we will develop an implementation strategy targeted on patient counselling and information of health care providers, and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the developed strategy.

All hopsitals in midwife practices in The Netherlands are potential candidates for the randomized controlled trial of the implementation developes model.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary endpoints are guidelines’ adherence rates, complications at ECV, the number of children that is in cephalic position at delivery, the number of caesarean sections and the perinatal condition of mother and child. Moreover, we will assess patient knowledge (e.g. ECV, breech delivery, caesarean section), patient decisional conflict and patient satisfaction. We will also calculate costs of both implementation interventions and medical interventions. In case one or both implementation interventions are effective, their cost-effectiveness will be assessed.
