Brief Summary:
This study conducted by the American Academy of Family Physicians AAFP and the National Human Genome Research Institute will characterize family physicians attitudes and practices related to the genetics of complex disorders As the front line of care for most Americans family medicine will have a central role in seeing that new findings in genetics lead to disease prevention and health improvements The information gained from this study could be useful in understanding and shaping the dissemination of genetic medicine in ways that improve the standard of primary care practice
Members of the AAFP will be randomly selected from the organizations membership records to be invited to participate in this two-phase study The first phase is a web-based survey of AAFP members In the second phase a sub-sample of those who complete the survey will be re-contacted half will be members who have enrolled in a year-long web-based curriculum related to medical genetics and the other half will be those who have chosen not to enroll in the curriculum
Survey questions relate to the physicians practices knowledge and opinions about implications of genomic medicine Survey areas include family history taking opinions about the future of genetics and family medicine information about the physician and his or her practice and physicians skills attitudes and knowledge

Detailed Description:
Although the evidence base for genetic susceptibility markers for complex disorders eg diabetes hypertension and obesity and the clinical utility of the related genetic tests has not been demonstrated all signs suggest that genetics will become increasingly relevant to and integrated into family medicine In recognition of these emerging genomic innovations and their potential for improving primary care practice the American Academy of Family Physicians AAFP in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute NHGRI has made genomic medicine the topic of their 2005 Annual Clinical Focus curriculum The AAFP is one of the largest medical organizations with a membership that comprises a group of 56400 active family physicians who deliver care in a broad array of practice settings in rural and urban communities around the United States Puerto Rico the Virgin Islands and Guam This study seeks to take advantage of the plans for AAFPs clinical focus on genomics to characterize family physicians attitudes and practices related to the genetics of complex disorders This information could be useful in understanding and shaping the dissemination of genetic medicine in ways that improve the standard of primary care practice To this end we propose to conduct two phases of research activity In the first phase a web-based survey will be conducted of members of AAFP In the second phase a sub-sample of those who complete the survey will be re-contacted half will be members who have enrolled in a year-long web-based curriculum related to medical genetics and the other half will be those who have chosen not to enroll in the curriculum
