Psychosocial implications of learning amyloid PET results in an observational cohort
Longitudinal assessment of psychosocial reactions after amyloid PET disclosure was conducted. Transient highly intrusive thoughts or avoidance after learning elevated amyloid results. Persistent test result-related distress after receiving elevated-amyloid results. There is increased concern about AD dementia after receiving elevated-amyloid results. Happiness and relief are experienced after receiving non-elevated-amyloid results.
