    Comparing Game Facilitated Interactivity to Genetic Counseling for Prenatal Screening Education

    Principal Investigator(s): ROTHWELL, ERIN

    Institution: University of Utah

    FOA Number: RFA-HG-20-048

    Abstract

    PROJECT NARRATIVE Advancements in prenatal genetic screening have significantly improved the identification of chromosomal abnormalities and heritable conditions during pregnancy, yet current standards for patient education in this domain are largely ineffective. The most effective approach to education about prenatal screening, is one-on- one genetic counseling, but due to the limited number of counselors this is not feasible, especially in rural and frontier areas. We will address this national problem using a novel education game that can more effectively address this gap in healthcare decision-making.
