Physician Knowledge of Human Genetic Variation, Beliefs About Race and Genetics, and Use of Race in Clinical Decision-making.

Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities - 1 Feb 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Race in the USA has an enduring connection to health and well-being. It is often used as a proxy for ancestry and genetic variation, although self-identified race does not establish genetic risk of disease for an individual patient. How physicians reconcile these seemingly paradoxical facts as they make clinical decisions is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To examine physicians' genetic knowledge and beliefs...
