Abstrakt:	Objective: To understand parental perspectives regarding universal newborn screening (UNS) for congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) in Canada. Design: A qualitative, patient-led study using the Patient and Community Engagement Research approach consisting of online focus groups and in-depth individual interviews to understand parental preferences regarding UNS for cCMV. Data were analysed iteratively using inductive thematic analysis and narrative story analysis. Setting: Canada-wide study conducted via video conference from October to December 2023. Patients: 12 participants from five Canadian provinces who self-identified as 18 years of age or older and as having parental lived experience with cytomegalovirus (CMV) or cCMV participated in the study. Results: We identified three themes: (1) attitudes about UNS for cCMV, including participants' unanimous support for UNS and confirmation that parental anxiety is not a deterrent for screening, (2) cCMV diagnosis, including the importance of coupling cCMV diagnosis with access to treatment and medical support and (3) awareness of cCMV, where participants shared their frustration about the lack of public and pregnant people's awareness of cCMV. Conclusions: Parental anxiety is not a deterrent for UNS for cCMV. Children with cCMV and their families deserve every opportunity to attain their best possible outcomes. UNS offers children with cCMV access to early intervention if they need it, and also helps to raise awareness and education to prevent future CMV infections.
