Veterans receive genetic health alerts in national study

NCT ID NCT04178122

Summary

This study tested a process for telling veterans about genetic risks found in their health data, specifically for heart disease. Researchers compared giving this information immediately versus waiting six months to see if it changed how veterans managed their cholesterol. The goal was to understand if sharing genetic risk results leads to better health actions and outcomes.
