Factor Information
Data ID	1914
Factor	Educational status of recurrence risk counseling
Description	While 70% of cases received some recurrence risk counseling, those with advanced education and complex CHD in the affected relative were more likely to receive counseling. Few at-risk cases interacted with genetic services (19%). Subjects with a higher educational status were more likely to report that they received recurrence risk counseling (P = .045), as were those with more complex types of CHD in the sibling or parent of the fetus (P = .041) (Table 3).

Conclusion	At-risk mothers with lower education are less likely to take preconceptual folic acid supplementation or receive recurrence risk counseling. Health care providers should proactively provide this information to all at-risk patients and develop collaborations with genetic services.
