How do women want to receive information about non-invasive prenatal testing? Evidence from a discrete choice experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) identifies the risk of abnormalities in pregnancy, potentially reducing the risk of miscarriage associated with invasive tests. This study aimed to understand the preferences of current and future mothers about the content, format and timing of information provision about NIPT.

Methods

Choice data were analysed using uncorrelated random parameters lo
