Use of a Novel Decision Aid for Prenatal Aneuploidy Screening
The investigators aim to assess whether use of a novel, tablet-based computerized decision
aid for aneuploidy screening is similar to routine care with a brief genetic counseling visit
in improving patient knowledge and decreasing decisional conflict.
aid for aneuploidy screening is similar to routine care with a brief genetic counseling visit
in improving patient knowledge and decreasing decisional conflict.
184 women will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to use of a novel computerized iPad-based
decision aid in addition to routine counseling or routine counseling only during a single
study visit. This decision aid was developed at a 10th grade literacy level using input from
Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians and certified genetic counselors, and piloted by 20
English and Spanish speaking women of varying education levels. Following completion of
genetic counseling, participants will complete several surveys assessing knowledge and
decision conflict. Data will be abstracted regarding demographics, screening and diagnostic
testing uptake, and testing results.
