This study documented parental perspectives on the impact of an early SCA diagnosis and attitudes towards NIPT use for identifying those at risk for SCAs. These informative and insightful results provide personal experiences that health care providers may want to consider when providing prenatal counseling on NIPT for expectant mothers. As this analysis is the first of its kind, ascertainment is limited, and future research should aim to expand these findings by investigating the different factors influencing attitudes towards NIPT.
