Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of an educational intervention on paternal knowledge, attitudes, and support about newborn screening (NBS) and dried blood spots (DBS). Participants (n = 147) were randomized into one of two groups. The results from this study indicated that video education tools about NBS and DBS is associated with significantly increased knowledge, support, and satisfaction for both NBS and research use of DBS and an opt-out consent approach for DBS among fathers.
