Underrepresented patient views and perceptions of personalized medication treatment through pharmacogenomics

Abstract Within an institutional pharmacogenomics implementation program, we surveyed 463 outpatients completing preemptive pharmacogenomic testing whose genetic results were available to providers for guiding medication treatment. We compared views and experiences from self-reported White and Black...
