This $718,630 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports the development and evaluation of an enhanced digital educational chatbot, called iPrenatal+, for prenatal genetic counseling.

The project aims to utilize human-centered design to transform an existing chatbot (iPrenatal) into an enhanced version (iPrenatal+) that provides prenatal genetic counseling in both English and Spanish. The researchers will then conduct a randomized controlled trial with 1,470 pregnant individuals to determine the effect of iPrenatal+ on patient knowledge and uptake of prenatal genetic testing, compared to in-person genetic counseling. The project will also assess iPrenatal+'s ability to narrow knowledge and uptake gaps between English- and Spanish-speaking patients.

The award includes two sub-grants to support the project - one to the Washington University (St. Louis, MO) and another to Rhode Island Hospital (Providence, RI). These sub-awardees will contribute their expertise in areas such as maternal and child health research, digital health technology, and clinical trials to help deliver the key products and services of the overall grant.
