NCT ID NCT04471779

Summary

This study aimed to understand how Latino adults in New York City react to learning their personal genetic risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers compared two groups: one that learned their risk based on family history and ethnicity, and another that also learned their specific genetic (APOE) results. They measured participants' emotional well-being, memory performance, and health behaviors over 15 months to see how this information affected them.
