چکیده

LE RÉSULTAT D’UN NOUVEAU PROGRAMME DE SANTÉ PUBLIQUE est fonction dans une grande mesure des connaissances et des attitudes des praticiens qui les offrent. Dans le présent numéro (page 775), le Dr June C. Carroll et ses collaborateurs présentent un rapport sur les pratiques, les connaissances et les opinions des médecins et des sages-femmes de l’Ontario en ce qui a trait à l’examen du sang maternel pour le dépistage du syndrome de Down, de défauts du tube médullaire et de la trisomie 18. Ils démontrent que l’anxiété de la mère, des taux élevés de résultats faussement positifs et l’éthique des tests prénataux préoccupent toujours les praticiens. L’auteur de cet éditorial discute de ces préoccupations en regard des pratiques antérieures de dépistage et soutient que l’éducation améliorée des fournisseurs de soins de santé et des patients, et l’expérience, sont les seuls moyens de surmonter les difficultés posées par le dépistage prénatal.
