Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an interactive web-based teaching tool in IVF patients. Patients will be randomized to participate in web-based IVF teaching or a didactic lecture. A knowledge questionnaire will be completed both prior to and following the teaching intervention. Both groups will also complete stress and satisfaction surveys throughout the IVF treatment cycle. Groups will be compared at the completion of the study for demographics, level of knowledge, stress and satisfaction. The web-based group will be evaluated for web usage.
