Impact of patient education videos on genetic counseling outcomes after exome sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Growing use of clinical exome sequencing (CES) has led to an increased burden of genomic education. Self-guided educational tools can minimize the educational burden for genetic counselors (GCs). The effectiveness of these tools must be evaluated.

Methods

Parents of patients offered CES were randomized to watch educational videos before their visit or to receive routine care. Parents and GCs were surveyed about their experiences following the sessions. The responses of the video (n = 102) and no-video (n = 105) groups were compared.

Results

GCs reported no significant differences between parents in the video and no-video groups on genetics knowledge or CES knowledge. In contrast, parents' scores on genetics knowledge questions were lower in the video than no
