Interpretation of Melanoma Risk Feedback in First-Degree Relatives of Melanoma Patients

Table 1

Scenario interpretation response frequencies (𝑁=139).

My test results indicate the following	Scenario version 𝑛 (%)
	Mutation positive	Mutation negative	GE positive	GE negative	Nongenetic risk positive	Nongenetic risk negative
My melanoma risk is unknown	0 (0.0)	1 (4.2)	0 (0.0)	1 (4.3)	0 (0.0)	3 (13.6)
I am certain to never get melanoma	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)
My risk is decreased	0 (0.0)	8 (33.3)	0 (0.0)	7 (30.4)	1 (4.3)	9 (40.9)
My risk is not really different from the population	1 (4.2)	6 (25.0)	1 (4.3)	7 (30.4)	1 (4.3)	7 (31.8)
My risk is not really different from other people with a melanoma family history	4 (16.7)	9 (37.5)	6 (26.1)	4 (17.4)	5 (21.7)	1 (4.5)
My risk is increased	16 (66.6)	0 (0.0)	16 (69.6)	4 (17.4)	16 (69.6)	2 (9.1)
I am certain to get melanoma in the future	3 (12.5)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)
Participants (% total)	24 (17.3)	24 (17.3)	23 (16.5)	23 (16.5)	23 (16.5)	22 (15.8)
