Patient knowledge and information-seeking about personalized cancer therapy
2016, International Journal of Medical InformaticsCitation Excerpt :General population interest and awareness about genetics has improved over time.

Black and White adults' perspectives on the genetics of nicotine addiction susceptibility
2011, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :In particular, barriers for individuals with low education and minority smokers need to be explored. Smokers with less education have been found to have less interest in genetic testing (Andrykowski, Munn, & Studts 1996; Lerman et al. 1999; Mogilner, Otten, Cunningham, & Brower 1998; Peters, Rose, & Armstrong 2004). One recent study suggested that Blacks believe that biological factors play a limited role in smoking cessation (Halbert, Gandy, Collier, & Shaker 2007).
Cancer risk and risk communication in urban, lower-income neighborhoods
2009, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :No monetary compensation was provided for participation. Demographic data included age, gender, income, education, ethnicity (US Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census, 2002), race (US Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census, 2002) and family history of cancer (Andrykowski et al., 1996; Case et al., 2004; Kelly and Sweet, 2007). Cancer worry was assessed with the Cancer Worry Scale, modified to assess worry about cancer (i.e., removing “breast”) (Lerman et al., 1994).
