Young Smokers' Interpretations of the Estimated Lung Cancer Risk Associated with a Common Genetic Variant of Low Penetrance

“I don’t believe it.” Acceptance and skepticism of genetic health information among African-American and White smokers

“…Informing individuals that they have a high-risk variant can increase their lung cancer risk perceptions (Lipkus, Schwartz-Bloom, Kelley, & Pan, 2015; Sanderson et al, 2014; Shepperd et al, 2013), worry (Shepperd et al, 2013), and 30-day cessation (Lipkus et al, 2015).
