Abstract

This study explores factors related to uptake of prenatal genetic testing (PGT) in a hard-to-reach and underrepresented sample of Hispanic women. PGT can offer the couple information about their baby and allow them to prepare for possible risks their baby may face. Factors associated with PGT uptake are presented.
