Recruitment, retention, and attrition of unaffected noncarriers, unaffected
carriers, and affected carriers in the genetic test reporting and follow-up
studies.
a3 affected noncarriers who received genetic counseling and test
results and who completed multiple assessments were excluded from analysis
because there were too few participants to permit statistical analyses from
which meaningful inferences or comparisons to other participant groups could be
made.
b3 unaffected noncarriers and 2 unaffected carriers completed an
abbreviated version of the survey by telephone that did not include the
perceived control ratings. Thus, the effective sample size for perceived control
ratings at 2 years is 32 (56.1% of eligible participants).
