Isi artikel

I read the article "A meta-synthesis of pregnant women's decision-making processes with regard to antenatal screening for Down syndrome" by Reid, Sinclair, Barr, Dobbs, and Crealey (2009) with great interest for three reasons. Firstly, it promised to draw together qualitative research concerned with pregnant women's decisions about prenatal screening for chrosomal anomalies such as Down syndrome. Sceondly, the paper offered a practical test of the more general utility of meta-synthesis with qualitative data. Thirdly, at a time when academic virtue is, apparently, indicated by citation 'metrics', I was flattered to note that the paper which I had first authored (Heyman et al., 2006) featured among nine winnowed from a starting field of over 12,000.
