Perceived understanding and psychosocial outcomes: employees’ responses to learning results of workplace genetic testing
wGT was associated with low levels of measured psychosocial harm among participants. However, results suggested a greater likelihood of negative psychosocial responses among those with increased risk of cancer/heart disease and non-Hispanic African American/Black employees. Future studies should explore strategies to ensure all employees undergoing wGT have educational and psychosocial support.
