Official title

Investigating ELSI Issues That May Facilitate or Impede Clinical Translation of Epigenetic Research.

Overview

Few people realize that environmental pollution and some behaviors like physical activity and tobacco smoking can affect their health by "turning on" or "turning off" certain genes through a process called "epigenetic modification." This study will develop and test strategies for communicating about epigenetics that are understandable and that do not increase ethical, legal or social issues (ELSI).

Interventions

  • Behavioral Epigenetics Video
    Video about the concept of epigenetics
  • Behavioral Individual Responsbility Video
    Video discussing epigenetics and health with a focus on individual behavioral factors affecting epigenetics.
  • Behavioral External Responsibility Video
    Video discussing epigenetics and health with a focus on external factors affecting epigenetics.

Primary outcome measures

  • Knowledge & understanding of epigenetics Information [Time frame: Baseline survey, after intervention video]
  • Acceptability of epigenetics information [Time frame: Baseline survey, after intervention video]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Perceptions of epigenetic information [Time frame: Baseline survey, after intervention video]
