Purpose. The purpose of this research was to investigate older adolescents' perceptions of Do-It-Yourself Genetic Assessment (DIYGA) services online and factors that influence their intentions to utilize DIYGA services. Design and Methods. A convenience sample of 111 undergraduate students completed an online survey based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Results. Most respondents (80.4%) had not heard of DIYGA services. Predictors of intentions to use DIYGA services included attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived risk of developing a genetic disorder. Practice Implications. Nurses are in a unique position to provide much-needed education and guidance to adolescents about genetic testing, particularly given mass media sources were the primary sources of information among these adolescents. |
