First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching East Asian American adults about alcohol flushing and offering them a genetic test for it is practical and helpful. About 100 people who flush when they drink or have a family history of flushing will take part. Half will get education only, and the other half will also receive genetic testing. Researchers want to see if adding genetic testing changes health behaviors and is acceptable in a clinic setting.
