Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to determine whether, in a population of well-informed parents, choosing a general practitioner at the maternity hospital facilitates the completion of the newborn's first required medical examination within the second week of life.

The main question it aims to answer is: Does selecting a general practitioner before leaving the maternity hospital allow the newborn's first medical examination to be completed within the recommended period?

Participants will be asked to complete an initial questionnaire, which will be given to them before leaving the maternity hospital, and then a second questionnaire by telephone one month later.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For eligible newborns, an information sheet will be provided to the parents or legal guardians.

Parents or legal guardians who have been informed of the study and do not object to their child's participation will receive a questionnaire between the second postnatal day (D2) and discharge from the maternity ward.

Each completed questionnaire will be collected prior to discharge. The research team will then contact the parents by telephone on day 30 (±3 days) to administer the second questionnaire and record their responses.
