Detailed Description

There is currently a high prevalence of obesity in the UK. Diets personalised to an individual's genetics could help to reduce the prevalence. However, how the public will respond to this information is unknown. The use of technology is very common and could provide an accessible platform to communicate genetic results to the public. Therefore, this study will evaluate the public's response to receiving genetic information via an electronic platform.

This study will comprise of an internet run quantitative survey. The survey will be circulated using relevant websites, internet forums, emails and social media. Participants will be required to complete the survey once which will take around 10 minutes. The participants will not be required to complete the survey in a controlled setting, it may be complete wherever the participant feels comfortable.
