Dataset Information

Patient experiences with pharmacogenetic testing in a primary care setting.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate patient experiences with pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing.

Methods

Patients were offered PGx testing through a study on pharmacist-assisted delivery of PGx testing and invited to complete pre- and post-testing surveys about their experience.

Results

Of 63 patients tested, 17 completed the baseline survey (27%). Interest in testing was mostly impacted by desire to inform selection of best treatment (n = 13). Seven of 12 patients that completed the follow-up survey indicated that their provider discussed the test result with them. Five patients understood their test result very or somewhat well. All would be likely to have PGx testing again.
