Abstract Details

2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences : Genetic Counseling.
Genetic counselors’ lack of cultural competence is a major barrier to the provision of genetic counseling services to Latinos. Pre-professional training is an essential time to teach cultural competence. This study aimed to measure two components of competence with Latino culture, cultural knowledge and comfort working with Latinos, in genetic counselors who graduated from a training program in the previous 39 months. One hundred twenty members of the National Society of Genetic Counselors completed a survey assessing cultural knowledge using factors previously identified as important in the genetic counseling literature. Cultural knowledge scores were directly correlated with Spanish language skills and amount of exposure to Latino clientele during training. Implications for further research and graduate education are discussed because all students will counsel increasing numbers of Latinos during their career.
