This study examined understanding of results, clinical follow-up and decisional regret in women who had received a false positive result from a noninvasive cfDNA screening test. 
Women were recruited through online pregnancy forums and interviewed by telephone.
Key Findings:
Women overwhelmingly report that they do not consider they made an informed decision regarding undergoing cfDNA screening. Many felt that if they had known about the potential for a false positive before agreeing to testing they may have made a different testing decision. Alternately, they might have received a high-risk result differently, knowing that the possibility of a false positive existed.
