      abstract = {A comparative analysis of the United States and the United  Kingdom reveals important cross- national differences in  the implementation of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).  To establish these key differences I conducted interviews  with healthcare professionals in the US, and I utilized  qualitative studies conducted within the UK. I conclude  that in the United Kingdom, health care professionals  struggle to accurately describe and present testing to  patients, and have a much higher subsequent Down Syndrome  abortion rate. In addition, many health care professionals  in the United Kingdom fail to provide informed consent when  administering NIPT. Comparatively, health care  professionals in the United States do a much better job  gaining informed consent, but often encounter time  constraints and cannot present all relevant information. In  the United States health care professionals also struggle  with a shortage of genetic counselors, insurance coverage  limitations, and a lack of data for low-risk populations.  To conclude, I provide policy recommendations meant to  address each of these issues.},
