    Abstract

    PROJECT NARRATIVE The goal of this study is to study the effect of COVID-19 on prenatal healthcare delivery, specifically patients' ability to access prenatal genetic screening and diagnostic tests in an informed and evidence- based fashion. By doing so, we will identify whether serious short term health issues for women, children, and families are resulting from the pandemic and develop readily-deployable and scalable solutions to ensure women's informed access to high-quality prenatal care during future public health crises. This project is relevant to public health because it is critical to ensure that pregnant patients have continued access to prenatal genetic tests, a central component of prenatal care quality and obstetric outcomes, amidst a public health crisis that diverts major resources and attention away from routine healthcare delivery.
