If you were to undergo PGT, would you share your results with a physician? | 23 (100.0) | – | 6 (75.0) | 8 (100.0) | |||
If you were to undergo PGT, would you ask a health care provider for help in interpreting the results? | 12 (52.2) | – | 4 (50.0) | 4 (50.0) | |||
Would you at this time recommend PGT for a patient? | 9 (39.1) | 8 (34.8) | 1 | 4 (50.0) | 1 (12.5) | 0.25 | 0.38 |
Most people can accurately interpret their PGT results | 0 (0.0) | 1 (4.3) | 0.025 | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 1 | 0.38 |
PGT companies provide an accurate analysis and interpretation of genotype data | 2 (8.7) | 10 (43.5) | 0.02 | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 1 | 0.14 |
PGT companies should be regulated by the federal government | 15 (65.2) | 18 (78.3) | 0.36 | 4 (50.0) | 7 (87.5) | 0.037 | 0.47 |
For yes/no questions, the number (and percentage) of subjects responding yes is reported. For Likert items, the number (and percentage) of subjects who agreed or strongly agreed with the statement is reported.
McNemar's test for binary response questions and Wilcoxon signed-rank test for Likert-scale items comparing pre- to post-course responses.
Fisher's exact test for binary response questions and Mann-Whitney U-test for Likert-scale items comparing post-course responses between genotyped and non-genotyped groups.
