To date sixteen adult women and men who have undergone preimplantation diagnosis (PGD) have been interviewed. This qualitative study seeks to understand the reasons, experiences and beliefs that lead fertile couples to attempt PGD rather than other reproductive options. No prior work has been done in this area. In addition to determining the elements of the decision-making process for those attempting PGD, unmet needs of these couples are being assessed as well as implications for genetic counseling practice. Preliminary analysis suggest! s that access, costs and learning the details of the PGD process were each considered barriers by parents. Some expressed the idea that there was no decision, that PGD was the obvious choice for them. There was stress involved in the process and many interviewees had suggestions for improved interventions by health care professionals. Additional interviews are scheduled and the study is still ongoing.

迄今为止，已有 16 名接受过植入前诊断 (PGD) 的成年女性和男性接受了采访。这项定性研究旨在了解导致生育力夫妇尝试 PGD 而不是其他生殖选择的原因、经历和信念。在此领域之前尚未开展任何工作。除了确定尝试 PGD 的决策过程要素之外，还评估了这些夫妇未满足的需求以及对遗传咨询实践的影响。初步分析建议！家长们认为，获取、费用和了解 PGD 过程的细节都是障碍。有些人表示还没有做出决定，PGD 对他们来说是显而易见的选择。这个过程存在压力，许多受访者对医疗保健专业人员改进干预措施提出了建议。已安排额外的访谈，研究仍在进行中。
