Impact of genetic risk information and type of disease on perceived risk, anticipated affect, and expected consequences of genetic tests.

Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association - 1 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genetic tests vary in their prediction of disease occurrence, with some mutations conferring relatively low risk and others indicating near certainty. The authors assessed how increments in absolute risk of disease influence risk perceptions, interest, and expected consequences of genetic tests for diseases of varying severity. DESIGN: Adults (N = 752), recruited from New Zealand, Australia, and the...
