This study explores the experiences and attitudes of US-based prenatal care providers with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).  Participants include genetic counselors, maternal fetal medicine specialists, obstetricians and medical geneticists. In it’s most recent phase, PIPS is recruiting members of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists from each of the 50 states to compile a picture of how NIPT interacts with state Medicaid programs, private insurance, state screening programs and variations in population and socio-economic status.

This study is not currently recruiting.
