Study Summary

The goal of this application is to gain a deeper understanding of decision-making for genetic testing and identify effective choice-architecture-based strategies to improve decisions in genetic testing. The investigators hypothesize that choice architecture (i.e. framing) affects decision-making for hypothetical genetic testing scenarios.

Primary Outcome

Opting "yes" for genetic testing or "no" refusing genetic testing

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL choice decision frame
  • BEHAVIORAL opt-in decision frame
  • BEHAVIORAL opt-out decision frame
  • BEHAVIORAL enhanced choice (context) decision frame
  • BEHAVIORAL enhanced choice (norms) decision frame
