To continue to better understand parents’ attitudes towards newborn screening for later onset disorders, education needs, and preferred contact methods, the Hawaii Genomics Section designed and distributed a short survey at the Seattle Family Expo on March 18 and 19, and the Sacramento Kids Expo on April 9 and 10. New and expectant parents coming to our booth were very interested in newborn screening, and we collected hundreds of completed surveys.

Huge and sincere thanks to the Washington and California State Departments of Health for all their time and invaluable help!
