In a questionnaire survey of 359 general practitioners (response rate 94%), 60% accepted the need to provide genetic services, but far fewer felt competent to do so. Nevertheless, as many as 76% had referred patients to a genetics unit in the past year, and 50% had counselled about genetics.
在一项针对359名全科医生的问卷调查中(回复率为94%),60%的人认可提供基因服务的必要性,但觉得自己有能力提供此类服务的人要少得多。尽管如此,多达76%的人在过去一年中将患者转诊至基因科,50%的人就基因问题提供过咨询。
