| Popis: | Aim: Assess feasibility and perspectives of pharmacogenetic testing/PGx in rural, primary care physician (PCP) practices when PCPs are trained to interpret/apply results and testing costs are covered. Methods: Participants included PCPs who agreed to training, surveys and interviews and eligible patients who agreed to surveys and testing. 51 patients from three practices participated. Results: Prestudy, no PCP had ever ordered a PGx test. Test results demonstrated gene variations in 30% of patients, related to current medications, with PCPs reporting changes to drug management. Poststudy, test cost was still a concern, but now PCPs reported practical barriers, including the utilization of PGx results over time. PCPs and patients had favorable responses to testing. Summary: PGx testing is feasible in rural PCP practices. |
