Women who had been offered screening (n = 1031) showed more attachment (F(1,1415) = 19.42, p<.001) compared to women who had not been offered screening (n = 387). This difference disappeared later in pregnancy. At all points in time, negatively screened women (n = 466) had equal levels of attachment compared to screening decliners (n = 565). No difference was observed between women who received a negative result of the ultrasound screening (n = 285) as compared to the blood screening (n = 162).
