What's already known about this topic? Most women desire comprehensive education about prenatal screening and testing for genetic disorders, but little is known about their specific needs pre‐testing and post‐testing. To develop guidelines for return of uncertain and incidental findings from prenatal genomic testing, data are needed on women's preferences for return of various types of results.What does this study add? This study adds to the limited knowledge of women's informational and resource needs associated with prenatal chromosomal microarray analysis testing and is one of the only studies to assess attitudes toward return of results among patients who have personal experience with prenatal genomic testing.
