Brief Summary

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

Determine the effect of a culturally sensitive prenatal genetic testing (PGT) education intervention delivered via a mobile application on pregnant women's perceptions, knowledge, and uptake of PGT. Our working hypothesis, based on prior studies, is that pregnant women who receive a culturally sensitive intervention to enhance their knowledge and understanding of PGT will feel more confident in their decision-making regarding PGT.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

This arm will review a mobile app to learn information about prenatal genetic testing before their appointment with maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobile app with prenatal genetic testing information

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the intervention group, participants will be asked to download, register, and review a mobile app on their own mobile phones before their appointment with maternal-fetal medicine specialists. This mobile app includes prenatal genetic testing information about amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, nuchal translucency screening, cell-free DNA, triple/quad/penta screening, anatomy ultrasound, and carrier screening.

Control group

This arm will only receive usual care - visit maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
