Abstract:
:We have studied the opinions and attitudes of women towards prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis/chorionic villus sampling/ultrasound/serum AFP testing). A questionnaire was sent to 185 women who had had their first baby a few months before. The respondents have a strong positive attitude towards the diagnostic procedures, especially if treatable abnormalities can be detected. Younger women and women with a high level of education were less inclined to make use of prenatal diagnosis. If tests were made more widely available, this might lead to a significant increase in the use of prenatal diagnosis.
