Expanded Prenatal Testing Options and Informed Choice

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy Related

In brief

The proposed study will determine the impact of providing complete information about all prenatal tests for chromosomal disorders to racially/ethnically and sociodemographically diverse women of all ages and allowing them to make informed choices regarding which tests - if any - to undergo. Specifically, we propose to update a validated prenatal testing decision-assisting tool ("PT Tool") to incorporate new screening options and make it more accessible to lower literacy and culturally diverse populations. We then will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of an "informed free choice" approach consisting of providing complete information regarding and access to all prenatal testing options to that of usual care among a diverse population of pregnant women.
