Predictors of correct recall of genetic risk information among Hispanic individuals in Florida and Puerto Rico.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify predictors of genetic risk recall and examine whether recall influences adoption of skin cancer preventive behaviors among Hispanic individuals.

Methods

Hispanic participants randomized to intervention arms (n = 463) of a precision prevention trial were provided MC1R risk information (average, higher) and asked to recall their risk after 3 and 9 months. Predictors of recall (correct versus did not recall/misremembered) were determined by backwards stepwise logistic regression. Intervention effects on preventive behaviors were estimated within strata of 3-month recall.

Results

Age inversely predicted correct recall in both risk groups (average: OR_3-months(3)= 0.97, 95%CI:0.94-1.01, OR_9-months(9)= 0.96, 95%CI:0.93-0.99; higher
