Disposition Options for Cryopreserved Embryos: Results of an Educational Program

A quantitative study was conducted at an infertility practice in the Southeastern United States to evaluate the effects of education about embryo disposition. Demographic data were collected, and a pre- and posttest survey design was used to study its impact on decision making after in  vitro fertilization. Ninety-eight women with stored embryos completed the pretest, and 47 (48%) completed the educational module and posttest. The results showed minimal change across disposition options, with continued storage and future use preferred most frequently.
