Summary

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.
