Factors influencing undertaking predictive genetic testing

The relationship between perceived self-efficacy, risk and testing intentions

Beschreibung

This work explores how people think about predictive genetic testing. Psychological research into individual decision making prior to the consulting room is scarce, with our knowledge of the types of factors that influence the decision to request this service barely investigated. This research undertakes this task by identifying salient factors influential in the contemplation of this new health choice. The aim is to increase our understanding of early decision-making in this area, by exploring the motivations of individuals who will never be seen at a genetic clinic.
