ECS tests for a wide range of inherited genetic disorders regardless of racial\/ethnic background and family history. Latinxs are an important ECS stakeholder group as they are the largest minority group with the highest fertility rate in the United States. Yet, the Latinx population has, to date, been underrepresented and understudied in genetics\/genomics research. We conducted a study to explore the knowledge and perspectives of pregnant Latinas regarding ECS in which descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data. Thirty\u2010two pregnant Latinas \u2013 mostly of low educational levels (no education beyond high school) and with less than $20,000 annual household income living in rural areas were surveyed, provided with education about ECS, and interviewed. Participants were found to possess limited knowledge about ECS prior to being interviewed. Most (68.8%), however, expressed interest in pursuing ECS following the educational component that explained ECS. Their interest was mainly driven by the desire to know their baby's chance of developing a genetic disorder, the low risk of ECS procedures for both pregnant Latinas and their fetus, and the opportunity to better prepare for raising a child with a genetic condition. Our findings contribute to the limited research in the genetics\/genomics field by providing in\u2010depth insights into the perspectives of pregnant Latinas regarding ECS. Obstetric providers and genetic counselors should provide culturally appropriate education and counseling to empower pregnant Latinas to make informed decisions about the use of ECS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgc4.1696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]],"date-time":"2023-03-23T05:15:15Z","timestamp":1679548515000},"page":"887-895","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Pregnant Latinas' perspectives on pursuing expanded carrier screening: \u201cIt is better to know than not\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Melodie","family":"Tedross","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haocen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"},{"name":"Shcool of Nursing Purdue University  West Lafayette Indiana USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Heigl\u2010Maza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy Cornell University  Ithaca New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Kramer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denise","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei\u2010Ju","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychology Department University of Texas Permian Basin  Odessa Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Robbins\u2010Furman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Human Genetics Baylor College of Medicine  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Page","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nora","family":"Montalvo\u2010Liendo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5320-6350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei\u2010Shih","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/aog.0000000000001951"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/aog.0000000000001952"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2015.10.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
