Article Synopsis
- Family health history (FHH) helps identify families at higher disease risk, and this study aimed to explore mothers' views on its benefits and their willingness to use a specific FHH tool, My Family Health Portrait (MFHP).
- In-depth interviews with 25 mothers revealed that they valued FHH for helping pediatricians stay informed and for guiding preventive screenings, with 68% finding MFHP user-friendly.
- While many mothers expressed a lack of knowledge about FHH as a barrier, a significant majority (92%) felt confident they could complete the MFHP before their child's medical appointment, highlighting their interest in using FHH tools in pediatric care.
