Three main objectives were assessed in this study which were measuring the impact of an educational program using WhatsApp on pregnant women knowledge, perceptions, practice, drug adherence, health literacy, and diabetic and/or hypertensive participants’ clinical outcomes as well as measuring healthcare professionals’ knowledge, practice, and teratogenicity risk perceptions towards medications used during pregnancy.

Methodology: Three methodologies were used in this study. A randomized control trial was used in assessing the impact of an educational program on pregnant women. Where 800 patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. By using WhatsApp application, an educational program was sent to all participants whereas a tailored educational program was sent only to pregnant patients with diabetes and/or hypertension. All study domains were measured using a pre-validated questionnaire and data collection sheet before, after and at one month after the end of the education. A pre-validated questionnaire was distributed to all healthcare providers and pharmacists at the gynecology department to measure their knowledge, perceptions, and teratogenicity risk perceptions towards medications use during pregnancy.
