First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a short video about prenatal genetics helps pregnant patients feel less conflicted when deciding about genetic testing. About 140 participants will either watch the video or receive standard care, then complete surveys. The goal is to see if the video improves decision-making and knowledge.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple video helps patients feel more confident and less conflicted when choosing prenatal genetic tests.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The video may not reduce decisional conflict more than standard care.
