Scores were estimated using generalized estimating equations with log link and γ distribution for continuous measures and with logit link and binomial distribution for dichotomized measures, with adjustment for corresponding baseline values and the genetic counselor providing disclosure.

Differences for dichotomized outcomes, full recall and positive subjective impact, represent odds ratios (i.e, the odds of full recall or positive subjective impact following telephone disclosure compared to in-person disclosure).
