Health-related needs of survivors of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: implications for health communication interventions.

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are key contributors to maternal morbidity, mortality, and future risk of cardiovascular disease. This exploratory study aimed to unearth the health-related needs of women with a reported history of HDP by inquiring about preferences for care.

Method: Deductive, qualitative analysis was conducted of HDP survivors' retrospective 'wishes' about the care received.
