This project of Health technology assessment was aimed at defining the impacts of offering a cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening to the general population, compared to the current situation, where the test is offered to individuals at high-risk to give birth to a child with CF. Results revealed: i) a lack of robust and updated data; ii) a return on investment up to six years from the screening's introduction, despite important economic and organizational efforts; iii) a general positive attitude of healthcare professionals, people with CF, families and general population; iv) possible issues related to the social impact.
