The psychometric properties of a decisional conflict scale (DCS) that elicits health-care consumers' uncertainty in making a health-related decision and the factors contributing to the uncertainty are acceptable.
Medical Decision MakingGeneral Performance on a Numeracy Scale among Highly Educated Samples

The results suggest that even highly educated participants have difficulty with relatively simple numeracy questions, thus replicating in part earlier studies that usual strategies for communicating numerical risk may be flawed.

The A5- item scale is a useful indicator of health care decision regret at a given point in time and was greater among those who changed their decisions than those who did not.

Obstetrics and GynecologyProcedure-related miscarriages and down syndromeâaffected births: implications for prenatal testing based on women's preferences
156 Citations2000Miriam Kuppermann
Pregnant women tend to find the prospect of a Down syndrome–affected birth more burdensome than a procedure-related miscarriage, calling into question the equal risk threshold for prenatal diagnosis.

Using an interactive prenatal testing decision tool results in more informed prenatal genetic testing decisions than viewing standard educational booklets.
Patient Education and CounselingWill the introduction of non-invasive prenatal diagnostic testing erode informed choices? An experimental study of health care professionals
127 Citations2009Ananda van den Heuvel, Lyn S. Chitty +6 more
This study provides the first empirical evidence to demonstrate that practitioners may view the consent process for NIPD differently to IPD, and there is potential for the introduction of NipD to undermine women making informed choices in the context of prenatal diagnostic testing for conditions like DS.
American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyScreening for Down syndrome: changing practice of obstetricians
80 Citations2009Deborah A. Driscoll, Maria A. Morgan +1 more
Obetricians have adopted a new paradigm for Down syndrome screening and first-trimester screening has been incorporated into prenatal care, which will likely influence future guidelines and challenge the long-standing tradition of offering diagnostic testing based on maternal age.
Prenatal DiagnosisPreference assessment of prenatal diagnosis for Down syndrome: is 35 years a rational cutoff?
73 Citations2002William A. Grobman, Sharon L. Dooley +3 more
To compare the perceptions of miscarriage and birth of a child with Down syndrome among pregnant women and to evaluate the implications of these preferences for the traditional 35‐year old maternal age risk boundary, a large sample of pregnant women are surveyed.
Prenatal DiagnosisUptake of prenatal diagnostic testing and the effectiveness of prenatal screening for Down syndrome
69 Citations2010Alice M. Jaques, Veronica Collins +5 more
To map prenatal screening and diagnostic testing pathways in Victorian pregnant women during 2003 to 2004 and measure the impact of prenatal diagnostic testing uptake on the effectiveness of prenatal screening for Down syndrome, it is necessary to assess factors influencing uptake of diagnostic testing following screening.

The Maternal Serum Screening Knowledge Questionnaire is a reliable instrument with good content and construct validity and should be valuable in assessing knowledge and level of informed consent in women receiving MSS and in evaluating the implementation of MSS programmes.

54 Citations2009Debra Roter, Lori H. Erby +2 more
The oral literacy demand of medical dialogue represents a learning obstacle to low literate subjects, however, this may not be the case for those with greater literacy skills who can understand the complex language and process the dense informational load of high demand sessions.

The experience gained in over 300 patients suggests that transabdominal aminocentesis carries minimal risks to mother and fetus, and a lack of consensus on the reliability of several of these diagnoses resulting from the direct analysis of amniotic fluid.
