This measure of knowledge about genetics has 21-items completed on a binary scale. Performance can be scored by summing the number of correct answers (chance performance is 10.5).
This scale contains 24 items and assesses the degree to which people have essentialist views of genetic causes. Responses can either be completed on a scale that ranges from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) or from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).
The Eugenics Acceptance Measure contains 15 items that can be completed on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).
This version of the Genetic Essentialism Scale for Race (GESR) measures beliefs about the relationship between genes and race with 9 items. Participant responses are recorded on a four-point Likert scale.
Mainous and colleagues report the development and validation of the 12-item Trust in Medical Resesearchers Scale. This scale is designed to be self-administered. Several scale items assess concerns about research participation that may be unique to populations with documented mistrust in medicine. It could be used to assess barriers to participation in research and inform recruitment strategies. Item descriptions are available in Table 1 of the linked publication.
Hall and colleagues report the development and validation of 12-item survey and a short form (4-item) survey designed to measure trust in medical researchers. Final scale items are available in Table 4 of the linked publication.
The Genetic Essentialism Scale for Race (GESR) measures beliefs about the relationship between genes and race with 15 items. Please see Table 1 of linked article by Yaylacı and colleagues for complete list of survey items. Participant responses are recorded on a five-point Likert scale (“Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree” or “Don’t Know”).
The GEmS can be used to assess the genomic healthcare empowerment of parents (e.g., the meaning of a diagnosis for their child, emotional management of the process, their confidence in utilizing the information, etc.) related to the conduct of genomic sequencing for diagnostic purposes in their children in both research and healthcare settings.
