Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with adults diagnosed with T2D, who were recruited through a pharmacogenetic database used in a previous research study at the University of Cincinnati. Themes were developed using deductive codes based on pre-determined interview questions and inductive codes based on interviewee responses, and then coded by two coders. Results: Themes were grouped and discussed under four major categories: 1) Characteristics facilitating and impeding communication 2) Familial communication patterns 3) Role of family and the role of society in communication about T2D risk and 4) Perceived causes of T2D. Conclusions: Communication within at-risk T2D families informs genetic counseling practice as well as public health practice. Genetic counselors can help families facilitate discussion about T2D based on familial characteristics. Public health interventions should be developed based on relationships between individuals within at-risk families, potential barriers to communication, individuals' family and social environments, and perceived cause of T2D. 2013-10-17 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367937775 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367937775 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
