MANOVA F ratio: F [6,316] = 1.55, P = 0.162, d = 0.03 (based on Wilk's lambda).
Between subjects: benefits: F [2,160] = 1.86, P = 0.159, d = 0.02.
Awareness F [2,160] = 1.96, P = 0.145, d = 0.02.
Outcomes F [2,160] = 0.19, P = 0.830, d =< 0.01.
Note: Lower scores indicate more positive perceptions of attitudes toward genetic testing.
Twenty granddaughters were less than 12 years of age and did not complete the attitudes toward genetic testing survey.
