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

April 24, 2024 updated by: Boston College

Developing Culturally-Tailored Interventions to Overcome Genomic Health Disparities in Communities of Color

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/a, or Latinx. Having a valid instrument is important for developing tailored interventions to decrease disparities in genomic healthcare for this population.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We 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.
