Note: Gender reflects the percent of participants within either the Yes or No group that were female. Values for age, education, and Mini-Mental State Examination represent the mean and interquartile range. Gender reflects the percent of participants within either the Yes or No group that were female. Race reflects the number and percent of participants within a particular racial/ethnic category that did or did not provide consent for genetic disclosure. Diagnostic Group reflects the number and percent of participants within a specific diagnostic group that did or did not provide consent for genetic disclosure. p values reflect results of t-tests (for continuous variables) and chi-square analyses (for categorical variables) comparing Yes and No groups. Effect Sizes were calculated using Cohen's d for continuous variables and Cohen's wfor categorical variables.
