| description | Plain language summary Significant racial, ethnic, and language disparities exist in prenatal genetic testing (PGT). Latina (Latinx) people, one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States, have low acceptance rates of PGT. This scoping review provides a systematic search of the literature to better understand Latinx individuals’ knowledge of, preferences for, and experiences with PGT. Eight electronic data bases were systematically searched and identified articles underwent title, abstract, full text, and reference review. Iterative thematic analysis was conducted to group article findings into themes. Thirty-five studies met inclusion criteria and three overarching themes were identified: genetic knowledge/literacy, provider (mis)communication/patient satisfaction, and cross-cultural beliefs. Findings indicate that discordant patient-provider decision making and language and patient provider miscommunication pose barriers to high-quality PGT decisions. Latinx individuals’ understanding and recall of PGT information is improved when delivered in a culturally and linguistically concordant manner. This suggests culturally-informed interventions, including the use of community health workers or cultural brokers, may enhance PGT acceptability and support high quality pregnancy decisions. |
