Participants’ Satisfaction with Consultation
| Variable | Consultation without genetic information | Consultation with genetic information | Statistics (ANOVA F; p scores) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today a lot of new insights about overweight became clear (after intervention) | 3.38 (1.1) | 3.60 (1.0) | F = 2.9 (p = 0.09) |
| 51.6% agreed | 65.4% agreed | ||
| 6 months later | 3.05 (1.2) | 3.33 (1.0) | F = 4.0 (p = 0.046) |
| 40.0% agreed | 52.8% agreed | ||
| I could benefit from this consultation (agreement after intervention) | 4.09 (0.7) | 4.11 (0.7) | F = 0.9 (p > 0.50) |
| 89.3% agreed | 90.0% agreed | ||
| 6 months later | 3.59 (0.9) | 3.65 (0.9) | F = 0.2 (p > 0.50) |
| 62.3% agreed | 63.8% agreed | ||
| I think every obese person should receive this consultation (agreement after intervention) | 4.45 (0.7) | 4.45 (0.7) | F = 0.0 (p > 0.50) |
| 92.3% agreed | 91.5% agreed | ||
| 6 months later | 4.15 (0.9) | 4.10 (0.9) | F = 0.2 (p > 0.50) |
| 80.8% agreed | 80.8% agreed | ||
| I think genetic factors are a major cause of obesity (baseline) | 3.67 (1.1) | 3.53 (1.1) | F = 0.6 (p > 0.50) |
| After consultation | 3.44 (1.1) | 3.91 (1.0) | F = 12.1 (p = 0.001) |
| 6 months later | 3.54 (1.1) | 3.63 (1.1) | F = 0.2 (p > 0.50) |
Range from 1 (not at all) to 5 (yes, exactly); only completers’ data.
Agreement was defined as a rating 4 or 5 of the 5-point Likert scale (5 = yes, I completely agree).
