About

The purpose of this study is to compare two methods for remote genetic counseling (telephone and two-way videoconferencing) for patients who are receiving disclosure of their APOE (apolipoprotein E) genotype. The target population will consist of males and females in the age range of 60-75 years who, as potential participants in a study (Generation Study), will need to receive genetic counseling and disclosure of APOE genotype. Subjects must be willing to receive genetic counseling and disclosure remotely. Subjects must be willing to be randomized to either telephone arm or videoconference arm.

613 participants in 2 patient groups

Telephone
Active Comparator group
Description:
Telephone telegenetics counseling: A trained Penn genetic counselor will conduct genotype disclosure visits with the participant via telephone. The participant will be in a private room at the study site. Telephone sessions will utilize a private phone line. The genetic counselor will use standardized disclosure checklist and visual aids for the disclosure session.
Treatment:
Other: Telephone remote genetic counseling
Videoconference
Experimental group
Description:
Two-way videoconferencing telegenetics counseling: A trained Penn genetic counselor will conduct genotype disclosure visits with the participant via two-way videoconferencing. The participant will be in a private room at the study site. Videoconferencing sessions will utilize tablets or laptops with web cameras and secure/confidential software for teleconferencing. The genetic counselor will use standardized disclosure checklist and visual aids for the disclosure session.
Treatment:
Other: Two-way videoconference remote genetic counseling
