Telephone Versus Videoconference Communication for Remote Genetic Disclosure in the APOE4 Trial

A Randomized Study of Telephone Versus Videoconference Communication for Remote Genetic Disclosure in the APOE4 Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare two methods for remote genetic counseling (telephone and two-way videoconferencing) for patients who are receiving disclosure of their APOE (apolipoprotein E) genotype. The target population will consist of males and females in the age range of 60-75 years who, as potential participants in a study (Generation Study), will need to receive genetic counseling and disclosure of APOE genotype. Subjects must be willing to receive genetic counseling and disclosure remotely. Subjects must be willing to be randomized to either telephone arm or videoconference arm.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Eligible to participate in the Generation Study
2. Ability to provide consent
