Risk Communication in African American Smokers
Study Description
“Risk Communication in African American Smokers”
The study aims to understand the effects of learning about one's genetic risk for lung cancer that is specific to their ancestry. Participants will be given hypothetical personalized genetic risk results and ask to think about how they might respond to such information if they actually received such results.

Methods
No pharmaceutical medication involved
Patients and healthy individuals accepted
Behavioral - HRHA
participants will be asked to consider a hypothetical scenario in which genetic test results reveal that: 1) they carry genotypes that place African American smokers at a particularly high (~50%-80%) risk for the development of lung cancer, and 2) their genetic profile reflects a particularly high concordance with African heritage (~90%).
Behavioral - LRLA
participants will be asked to consider a scenario in which genetic test results reveal that: 1) they are at normal (~7%-10%) risk for the development of lung cancer, and 2) their genetic profile reflects a particularly low concordance with African heritage (~10%).
Behavioral - HRLA
participants will receive "High Risk, Low Ancestry (HRLA)" hypothetical
Behavioral - LRHA
participants will receive "Low Risk, High Ancestry (HRLA)" hypothetical
