Abstract Standardized patients (SPs) are laypersons trained to portray patients, family members, and others in a consistent, measurable manner teach assess healthcare students, provide practice for emotionally medically challenging cases. SP methodology has been studied with practicing genetic counselors; however, there is minimal empirical evidence characterizing its use counseling (GC) education. The Accreditation Council Genetic Counseling (ACGC) Standards of Graduate Programs include...

Low rates of genetic counseling among African American women have generated concerns about disparities; however, to the extent that women's decisions accept or decline are consistent with their values, then lower participation may reflect preferences and not disparities. We evaluated which were satisfied decision participating in for BRCA1/2 mutations identified variables associated significantly satisfaction. Prospective study satisfaction 135 who had a minimum 5% prior probability having...

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effect feedback devices on visual attention and quality pediatric resuscitation. Methods This a randomized cross-over simulation at Medical University Vienna. Participants were students neonatal providers performing four resuscitation scenarios with support randomized. primary outcome Secondary outcomes total dwell time (=total duration visit time) areas interest workload participants. Results Forty participants analyzed....

<i>Background:</i> Limited empirical data are available on the effects of genetic counseling and testing among African American women. <i>Objective:</i> To evaluate in women based different levels exposure: (a) who were randomized to culturally tailored (CTGC) standard (SGC) declined randomization (non-randomized group), (b) participants non-participants counseling, (c) <i>BRCA1</i> <i>BRCA2</i> (<i>BRCA1/2)</i> test result...

Young Black women are disproportionately afflicted with breast cancer, a proportion of which may be due to BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA) gene mutations. In sample early onset we evaluated BRCA mutations explored personal system-level clinical characteristics. diagnosed invasive cancer (age ≤50) were recruited through the state registry. Participants completed questionnaire, genetic counseling testing. Of 48 who consented study participation, 46 provided usable biologic specimen for The overall...

This study evaluated the process of recruiting African American women to participate in genetic counseling research for BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutations with respect referral, enrollment, participation counseling.

Although knowledge about genetic concepts is important for individuals to be active participants in medical technologies that use science, limited information available on basic and terminology African Americans. The purpose of this study was evaluate general genetics among Americans identify factors having independent associations with knowledge. Participants were 109 adult enrolled a attitudes race, genetics, smoking. majority respondents knowledgeable concepts, but less terminology....

BACKGROUND Violent injury among trauma surgery patients is strongly associated with exposure to harmful social determinants of health and negative long-term outcomes. Medical-legal partnerships in other settings successfully provide legal services address similar health-harming needs may offer a promising model for the care violently injured patients. STUDY DESIGN An electronic survey tool was distributed clinicians staff affiliated hospital-based violence intervention program at single...

Summary The paper describes the experience of Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory in prenatal testing for haemophilia A, an X‐linked recessive disease caused by mutations F 8 gene. Knowledge a familial mutation prior to pregnancy can benefit diagnosis and decrease wait time molecular during pregnancy. This is retrospective review series pregnant women who pursued gene from December 1997 through May 2012, highlighting three cases, which demonstrate technical complexities analysis implications not...

Pathogenic variants (PVs) in multiple genes are known to increase the risk of early-onset renal cancer (eoRC). However, many eoRC patients lack PVs RC-specific genes; thus, their genetic remains undefined. Here, we determine if DNA damage response and repair (DDRR) enriched undergoing assessment. Retrospective review de-identified results from 844 patients, testing with a multi-gene panel, for variety indications, by Ambry Genetics. cancer-risk were identified 12.8% patients-with 3.7%...

With few exceptions, research on consumer genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk has focused tests with limited predictive value and clinical utility. Our study advances the existing literature by exploring experiences behaviors of individuals who have taken modern susceptibility that, unlike earlier tests, screen medically significant variants. We interviewed 30 had undergone between 2014 2019. explored participants' pre-test sentiments (7 items), receiving results (5 behavioral...

Abstract Sustainability research emphasizes the importance of intervening with both individual and organizational behaviours as well systems that shape them to create sustainability transformations. However, date there is a lack studies bridge divide between small case-based interventions global at broader scales, complex interactions across scales processes. This paper works leverage points framework consider transformation. It focuses on four in textile sector explores how they are...

Despite attention to psychological issues during genetic counselling and testing for hereditary breast ovarian cancer risk, limited information is available on cancer-specific distress among African American women being targeted participation in testing. Therefore, the purpose of this study examine at an increased risk identify factors having significant associations with population. Respondents were 141 identified BRCA1/2 mutations. Overall, respondents reported moderate levels distress....

Genetic testing recommendations for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer involve pedigree analysis consultation of guidelines. The landscape syndromes is shifting as multiplex panel tests become more widely integrated into clinical practice. purpose the current study was to assess how genetic counselors utilize pedigrees make testing, determine consistency these with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines explore use testing. Sixty-nine were recruited through Society...

Abstract Although African American breast cancer survivors are at increased risk for developing again, empirical data not available on perceptions in these women. This study characterized perceived of having a BRCA1 or (BRCA1/2) mutation and identified factors significant independent associations with perceptions. Participants were 95 an BRCA1/2 mutation. Risk sociodemographic, clinical, treatment, sociocultural collected during structured telephone interview. Most women reported that they...

Abstract Although retention is a critical component of longitudinal cancer genetics research, limited empirical data are available on predictors study among populations that difficult to enroll. We evaluated in research African American women at increased risk for having BRCA1 and BRCA2 ( BRCA1/2 ) mutation. Participants were (n = 192) hereditary breast‐ovarian who enrolled genetic counseling study. Retention was separately the 1‐ 6‐month follow‐ups terms overall (e.g., completion both...

Abstract The genetic counseling profession has attempted to enhance the diversity of its workforce since inception but does not yet reflect demographics United States. One barrier entry into programs may be ability gain exposure prior applying for entry. Many applicants participate in unpaid shadowing experiences, which could a limitation students from underrepresented backgrounds who less familiar with field or cannot forgo salary. To address this concern, University Pennsylvania Master...
