Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Screening and Counseling
Institution: University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)- David Geffen School of Medicine
FOA Number: RFA-HG-91--01
Abstract
Women of reproductive age and the partners of those who test positive will be screened for CF mutations by new methods of rapid DNA analysis in this pilot study. The target population includes large numbers of Hispanic and Asian Americans, two groups which have not been studied extensively for either their CF mutation frequencies or their response to testing and counseling. Pre and post-test questionnaires will be used to determine level of understanding of CF, predictors of consent to testing, and emotional responses to implications of the test results in the various ethnic and socioeconomic subgroups. Strategies of pre-and post-test counseling will be compared for their effectiveness. (Funded by NICHD. Member of CFSC)
