Behavioral Beliefs and Intentions

Behavioral beliefs		M	(SD)	rp
1F	Genomic sequencing could help scientists develop tests that find serious conditions before a child develops them	4.24	(0.73)	.37***
2F	Knowing that a child has a genetic condition may allow parents to get early treatment and support services	4.40	(0.68)	.32***
3F	Genomic sequencing will help doctors better understand many genetic conditions	4.20	(0.79)	.37***
4F	A positive result could help my family better plan for the future	4.23	(0.81)	.43***
5F	It is better to have all possible tests that could tell me about my child’s future health even if nothing is found	3.96	(1.00)	.56***
1A	Knowing that researchers are studying my child’s genomic sequencing information makes me uncomfortable	2.67	(1.26)	−.24***
2A	Waiting to learn my child’s genomic sequencing results may cause me to worry or feel anxious	3.58	(1.13)	−.04
3A	I would rather wait to see if my child has signs of a genetic condition before having genomic sequencing	2.62	(1.23)	−.50***
4A	I am satisfied with knowing that my child will have the standard newborn screening test like all babies	3.55	(1.02)	−.25***
5A	I do NOT want to learn now if my child is expected to develop a genetic condition in the future	2.34	(1.91)	−.52***

Note. F = Reason for genomic sequencing. A = Reason against genomic sequencing.
