The undue influence of genetic information on medical students’ treatment decisions

2022-11-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Knowledge of the genetic basis of health conditions can influence how the public perceives their own and others’ health. When there are known genetic associations for such conditions, genetic essentialist biases facilitate deterministic thinking and an over-emphasis of genetic causality. This study investigates the role that genetic essentialist biases play in medical decision making. <h4>Met...
