.Title: The informational aspects of direct to consumer genetic tests There are many companies that sell genetic tests directly to consumers over the internet. It is claimed that some of these tests can inform consumers of their relative risk of contracting various different serious diseases. I'm looking at the informational aspects of these tests, including the information need of consumers, consumers' information searching behaviour and the effects (both behavioural, psychological and in relation to information need) of any information generated by the tests.
