Objective: This study describes maternal depression associated with newborn genetic screening for type 1 diabetes after risk notification.
Research Design And Methods: Mothers of at-risk infants (n = 192), identified through newborn genetic screening as part of the Prospective Assessment of Newborns for Diabetes Autoimmunity study, were administered a structured telephone interview assessing maternal depressive symptoms 1 and 3.5 months after risk notification.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess maternal diabetes prevention efforts aimed at children identified as at risk through newborn genetic screening.
Research Design And Methods: A total of 192 mothers of children identified as at risk for type 1 diabetes through newborn genetic screening were administered a structured interview 3.6 +/- 0.
Objective: To describe maternal anxiety associated with newborn genetic screening for type 1 diabetes during the first year after risk notification.
Research Design And Methods: Mothers of at-risk infants (n = 435), identified through newborn genetic screening as part of the Prospective Assessment of Newborn for Diabetes Autoimmunity (PANDA) study, were administered a short form of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) during telephone interviews approximately 3.5 weeks, 4 months, and 1 year after risk notification.
Purpose: To assess accuracy of mothers' understanding of their newborns' genetic risk for type 1 diabetes and to identify predictors of the comprehension and retention of genetic information.
Methods: Mothers of 435 newborns genetically screened at birth were informed of the infant's risk for type 1 diabetes using a standard script that provided both categorical and numerical risk information. The mothers' comprehension and retention of this information were assessed by structured interview on two occasions, approximately 3.
