Abstract：Objective To investigate the knowledge and attitudes about genetic testing among residents and patients in Changsha, and to discuss the influencing factors. MethodsWith stratified cluster random sampling method, the survey was conducted in residents, patients and their families in Changsha with interview questionnaire. Results399 respondents were investigated finally. The awareness rate of the knowledge about genetic testing was 47.9%, and 73.4% of the respondents held positive attitudes. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that education level (OR=0.535, P<0.001) and marriage status (OR=2.224, P=0.002) were associated with the attitudes. ConclusionsResidents, patients and their families in Changsha hold positive attitudes toward genetic testing, however, the awareness rate is relatively low. Unawareness of the contents and definition of the genetic testing doesn’t affect their perspectives about genetic testing.
