Implications of Health and Genetic Literacy for Genomic Medicine
This research study is being conducted to learn about how health and genetic literacy (i.e.,
how well a person understands health and genetic information) affects a person's ability to
understand genetic risk information for Type 2 diabetes and whether that person chooses to
change their lifestyle and health behaviors to reduce their risk. The investigators also
want to learn if the manner in which the genetic risk information is communicated affects
the level of understanding and potential behavior changes. Participants will be tested for
genetic risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and will received results either via a web-based
computer program, or in-person from a genetic counselor.
