Racial and ethnic differences in knowledge and attitudes about genetic testing in the US: systematic review.
This systematic review examined racial and ethnic differences in knowledge and attitudes about genetic testing in the US. The authors found 12 articles published in 1997-2017 that met their inclusion criteria. The studies found consistent patterns of lower awareness of genetic testing in general among non-White populations, lower factual knowledge scores among Blacks and Hispanics/Latinos, and mixed findings of differences of awareness of direct-to-consumer genetic testing or the term precision medicine.
