Abstract Genetic testing requested by prospective adoptive parents and/or an adoption agency prior to adoption, known as pre-adoption genetic testing, is postulated to help identify the best placement for the child. However, limited data exist about factors impacting social workers’ decision making about genetic testing and their perceptions about positive and negative implications of testing. A survey and semi-structured interview based on a pre-adoption genetic testing scenario of an inherited condition explored social workers’ perspectives and decision-making process (N = 129). The majority reported limited education in genetics, but favored genetic testing. Results highlight the value of an interdisciplinary team in genetic testing decision making.

预选基因检测:社会工作者的决策过程

摘要 潜在的养父母和/或领养机构在领养前要求进行基因检测,称为领养前基因检测,旨在帮助确定最适合孩子的安置。然而,关于影响社会工作者关于基因检测的决策的因素以及他们对检测的积极和消极影响的看法的数据有限。基于遗传条件的采用前基因检测场景的调查和半结构化访谈探索了社会工作者的观点和决策过程(N = 129)。大多数人报告遗传学教育有限,但赞成基因检测。结果突出了跨学科团队在基因检测决策中的价值。
