Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Families need better information to navigate newborn screening. The Navigate Newborn Screening Program developed online modules, a prenatal program, and social media campaigns to improve family knowledge and confidence, especially for underserved communities.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Health Communication
- Genetics
Background
- Families face challenges accessing accurate information for newborn screening due to system limitations and resource constraints.
- Effective family engagement in newborn screening is crucial for increasing knowledge and confidence, particularly in underserved communities.
- Current newborn screening education often fails to meet the diverse needs of families, leading to gaps in understanding.
Purpose Of The Study
- To describe and evaluate three strategies developed by the Navigate Newborn Screening Program to enhance family engagement and education in newborn screening.
- To assess the success of online learning modules, a prenatal education pilot, and a social media campaign in reaching and educating families.
- To present a model for bidirectional engagement to support scalable educational efforts for families and providers.
Main Methods
- Implementation of three distinct educational strategies: online learning modules, a prenatal education pilot program, and a social media awareness campaign.
- Utilization of quality improvement methods and evidence-driven approaches to guide strategy development and implementation.
- Evaluation of the strategies' effectiveness in reaching and educating families about the newborn screening system.
Main Results
- The three implemented strategies demonstrated promising practices in advancing awareness, knowledge, and self-efficacy among families navigating newborn screening.
- These approaches showed particular success in reaching and educating families from medically underserved and underrepresented communities.
- The program successfully engaged families, enhancing their understanding and confidence in the newborn screening process.
Conclusions
- The developed strategies offer effective models for improving family education and engagement in newborn screening.
- Bidirectional engagement strategies are essential for scaling educational efforts and ensuring equitable access to information for all families.

Overview
A pedigree is a diagram displaying a family’s history of a trait. Analyzing pedigrees can reveal (1) whether a trait is dominant or recessive, (2) the type of chromosome, autosomal or sex, a trait is linked to, (3) genotypes of family members, and (4) probabilities of phenotypes in future generations. For families with a history of autosomal or sex-linked diseases, this information can be crucial to family planning.
