Experiences With a Genetic Test for Personalized Nutrition Test for Personalized Nutrition

May 11, 2015 updated by: Ahmed El-Sohemy, University of Toronto

Experiences With a Healthcare Professional-mediated Genetic Test for Personalized Nutrition

The investigators will use a web-based survey to collect data on individual attitudes and self-reported health behaviour changes following genetic testing for personalized nutrition. Participants (n=80) are employees of a large multi-national food company's R&D division located in Australia, Switzerland, USA and the UK. They underwent a genetic test for personalized nutrition in March 2015 that was offered at no cost through the company wellness program. A registered dietitian completed a pre-test consultation and disclosed the test results with DNA-based dietary advice. The test provided information on 7 components of diet and additional information on individual risk for gluten intolerance.
