An Evaluation of Testing and Counseling for CF Carriers

Principal Investigator(s): Sorenson, James

Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

FOA Number: RFA-HG-91--01

Abstract

This study compares two CF carrier screening arrangements: a 'local screen' with pre-screening education provided by a pamphlet and a blood sample drawn by a private physician or public health professional; and a genetic center screen, with pre-screening education by a genetic counselor and a blood sample drawn by a clinic technician. Secondly, this study assesses the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a pre-genetic counseling video for CF carrier clients to improve learning in counseling and to increase the utility of counseling information. The study focuses on close relatives of CF patients. Both before and after receiving the results of CF carrier testing, subjects will be assessed to determine genetic and medical knowledge, psychological status, and selected health behaviors.
