Patient Education and Counseling, v32 n1,2 p93-100 Sep-Oct 1997

Validity of using genetic counselors' reports of information given in consultations as a measure of patient recall was studied. Counselors' reports were compared with tape recordings and patient follow-up calls. Measures include patient expectations, patient anxiety, demographics, patient recall, patient-defined important information, and counselor-defined important information. Results are discussed.
