Genetics Visit Uptake Among Individuals Receiving Clinically Actionable Genomic Screening Results

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38488794/ From the abstract: "What factors are associated with completion of a genetics visit in a population with positive genomic screening results? In this cohort study of a population genomic screening program including 1160 participants, several demographic and program-level factors were associated with the likelihood of completing a follow-up genetics visit. Desire to follow-up with primary care was the most frequently reported reason for declining to schedule a genetics visit. These findings suggest genomic screening programs may be more successful at supporting patients and clinicians in translating genetic results into clinical action by providing a framework for care coordination among primary care practitioners, genetics clinicians, and specialists."
