DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding how people respond to genetic risk information will be critical in allowing discoveries from genomic research to be effectively translated into clinical care. Alzheimer's disease (AD), for which one form of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype serves as a significant risk factor, provides an instructive paradigm in which to examine the process and impact of genetic testing for a common, complex disease. The parent grant in this application, the NHGRI/NIA-funded Risk Evaluation and Education for Alzheimer's Disease (REVEAL) Study, is a multi-site, randomized clinical trial of a genetic counseling and education program that includes disclosure of APOE genotype information. This clinical trial examines the psychological and behavioral impact of the counseling and education program on a racially diverse sample of first-degree relatives of people with AD. We will expand upon the already novel design and content of the REVEAL Study through several methodological innovations. First, we will use the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS) coding method to analyze over 225 audiotaped REVEAL risk disclosure sessions. The RIAS has been utilized successfully in many clinical contexts but has never been applied to actual genetic risk disclosure sessions. Its use will permit for rigorous analysis of the process of risk disclosure for AD susceptibility. Second, we will examine physicians as providers of risk disclosure, in order to explore provider differences in provision of genetic risk assessment. Given these additions to the REVEAL Study design, we will be able to: 1) examine how the quality of provider-patient interactions during risk disclosure sessions predicts key patient and provider outcomes following genetic risk assessment; 2) examine differences in provider-patient interactions between risk disclosure sessions in which negative vs. positive test results for the APOE-e4 genotype are disclosed; and 3) explore differences in provider-patient interactions based on both patient and provider characteristics (e.g., race, provider profession). Study findings will inform the development and implementation of genetic risk assessment programs across numerous disease contexts.

描述（由申请人提供）：了解人们对遗传风险信息的反应对于允许从基因组研究中发现有效地转化为临床护理至关重要。阿尔茨海默氏病（AD），一种载脂蛋白E（APOE）基因型的一种形式是一个重要的危险因素，它提供了一种具有启发性的范式，可以在其中检查基因测试对常见，复杂疾病的过程和影响。本应用程序中的父母赠款是NHGRI/NIA资助的阿尔茨海默氏病（Remabe）研究的风险评估和教育，是一项遗传咨询和教育计划的多站点，随机的临床试验，其中包括披露APOE基因型信息。这项临床试验研究了咨询和教育计划对广告中一级亲戚的种族不同样本的心理和行为影响。我们将通过几项方法学创新来扩展已经新颖的设计和揭示研究的内容。首先，我们将使用roter交互分析系统（RIAS）编码方法来分析超过225个录音带揭示风险披露会议。 RIA在许多临床环境中已成功使用，但从未应用于实际的遗传风险披露会议。它的使用将允许对AD敏感性的风险披露过程进行严格分析。其次，我们将研究医生作为风险披露的提供者，以探索提供者在提供遗传风险评估方面的差异。考虑到揭示研究设计中的这些增加，我们将能够：1）研究在风险披露期间提供者与患者相互作用的质量如何预测遗传风险评估后的关键患者和提供者结果； 2）检查风险披露会话之间提供者与患者相互作用的差异，其中披露了APOE-E4基因型的负测试结果； 3）探索基于患者和提供者特征（例如种族，提供者职业）的提供者与患者相互作用的差异。研究结果将为跨多种疾病环境的遗传风险评估计划的发展和实施提供信息。
