目前的基因组信息提供模型将无法处理基因组信息的大规模临床整合，如可能发生在初级保健环境中。因此，预计将采用数字化工具提供遗传和基因组信息，主要是使用基于互联网的分布式方法。新兴的虚拟现实（VR）消费者交流平台是面对面和分布式互联网平台之间的另一种潜在的中间方法，用于基因组学教育和信息提供。这项探索性研究评估了在模拟的、基于VR的咨询（相对于分布式的、互联网平台）中提供关于体重的基因组学信息是否与健康行为相关的态度和信念以及对化身医生的人际反应的差异相关。我们还评估了结果是否不同取决于基因组与生活方式导向的信息是否传达。所有健康行为导向结果的沟通平台之间存在显着差异。在VR环境中进行沟通后，参与者报告了比基于互联网的环境更高的自我效能，饮食行为意图和运动行为意图。有没有设置的医生的信任的差异，并没有设置效果和信息的内容之间的相互作用。这项研究是第一次尝试检查基于VR的通信设置在体重管理背景下传达基因组内容的潜在能力。在影响健康生活方式行为背后的态度和信念方面，使用VR设置来交流基因组学以及更传统的健康信息可能会有好处。
Current models of genomic information provision will be unable to handle large-scale clinical integration of genomic information, as may occur in primary care settings. Therefore, adoption of digital tools for genetic and genomic information provision is anticipated, primarily using Internet-based, distributed approaches. The emerging consumer communication platform of virtual reality (VR) is another potential intermediate approach between face-to-face and distributed Internet platforms to engage in genomics education and information provision. This exploratory study assessed whether provision of genomics information about body weight in a simulated, VR-based consultation (relative to a distributed, Internet platform) would be associated with differences in health behavior-related attitudes and beliefs, and interpersonal reactions to the avatar-physician. We also assessed whether outcomes differed depending upon whether genomic versus lifestyle-oriented information was conveyed. There were significant differences between communication platforms for all health behavior-oriented outcomes. Following communication in the VR setting, participants reported greater self-efficacy, dietary behavioral intentions, and exercise behavioral intentions than in the Internet-based setting. There were no differences in trust of the physician by setting, and no interaction between setting effects and the content of the information. This study was a first attempt to examine the potential capabilities of a VR-based communication setting for conveying genomic content in the context of weight management. There may be benefits to use of VR settings for communication about genomics, as well as more traditional health information, when it comes to influencing the attitudes and beliefs that underlie healthy lifestyle behaviors.
