Effect of Direct‐to‐Consumer Genetic Tests on Health Behaviour and Anxiety: A Survey of Consumers and Potential Consumers

2 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests can be purchased over the internet. Some companies claim to provide relative genetic risks for various diseases and thus encourage healthy behaviour. There are concerns that exposure to such information may actually discourage healthy behaviour or increase health anxiety. An online survey was conducted (n = 275). Respondents were composed of individuals who had purchased a...
