In recognition of the emerging social and scientific research related to assessing the complex relationships between self-identified race, ancestral origin and the genetic components of diseases, it i...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- The population of interest for this phase of the study are currently practicing, board certified general internists, both allopathic and osteopathic, whose offices are in the United States. Investigators have selected this population for multiple reasons. General internists are on the frontlines of health care delivery and have become increasingly more responsible for the translation of genomic knowledge into clinical practice.
- Further, selecting general internists for this phase of the study is consistent with populations included in Phases I and II of the study. Lastly, limiting our pool of potential respondents to general internists helps to minimize costs associated with this study.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- We will exclude physicians with addresses outside of the continental United States, as well as, physicians who are not in active practice (see patients \<10% of their time), deceased, or retired prior to randomly selecting the sample. Because questions surrounding clinical decision making are a key component of this survey, it is imperative that we only include practicing physicians in the sample.
