This study aims to determine what visual aid helps people most accurately interpret risk from genetic test results. The study also examines how people perceive risk using the Tripartite Risk Model. Last, the study examines factors that are associated with intention to share genetic test results with family members.
Participants will provide brief sociodemographic information, complete brief health literacy and numeracy assessments, and questions about how they perceive risk. Participants will be informed of a genetic testing scenario and will receive one of two visual aids. After reviewing the visual aid, participants will state the risk shown in the visual aid and will answer questions about their perceived risk and sharing results with family members (blood relatives).
