Validating the Spanish "Attitudes Toward Genomics and Precision Medicine" (AGPM).

Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Adult ALL
• Interventions: Other: Attitudes Toward Genomics and Precision Medicine (English); Other: Attitudes Toward Genomics and Precision Medicine (Spanish)

• Registration Number: NCT06386861
• Lead Sponsor: Boston College

Brief Summary

The investigators aim to evaluate English and Spanish versions of the "Attitudes toward genomics and precision medicine" instrument (AGPM). This study will help validating a Spanish version of the AGPM among people identifying as Hispanic, Latino, or Latina. Having a valid instrument is important for developing tailored interventions to decrease disparities in genomic healthcare for this population.

Detailed Description

The investigators will recruit 1,000 individuals (500 English-speaking and 500 Spanish-speaking) to complete the AGPM and previously validated instruments assessing health literacy and numeracy. Results will establish the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the AGPM.
