    Factors Influencing Access and Utilization of Genetic Prenatal Care Services Among Women from Underserved Populations

    Principal Investigator(s): ALLYSE, MEGAN A.;

    Institution: MAYO CLINIC JACKSONVILLE

    FOA Number: PA-16-190

    Abstract

    Prenatal screening and testing technologies using genetic methods are rapidly expanding, offering increasing amounts of genetic information about the fetus. However, research shows that women from underserved populations are less likely to receive or accept prenatal genetic services, leading to discordant birth outcomes. We propose to explore the barriers to access and acceptance of prenatal genetic care among women from underserved populations.
