Perceived knowledge, use and perceptions of pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing were assessed among healthcare practitioners in North Carolina. A validated survey was distributed to various healthcare professionals and analyzed for differences among the groups. The majority of the 744 survey respondents acknowledged the perceived benefits of PGx testing, but indicated either never or rarely using it. A substantial percentage of practitioners reported educational experiences but the majority had received no training. Among groups reporting using PGx testing, barriers to implementation were cost and insufficient training. The perceived cost of PGx testing and insufficiency or lack of training are major contributing factors to the infrequent use of PGx testing by healthcare providers in North Carolina.
在北卡罗来纳州的医疗保健从业者中评估了他们对药物基因组学（PGx）检测的认知、使用情况和看法。向各种医疗保健专业人员分发了经过验证的调查，并对不同群体之间的差异进行了分析。在 744 名调查受访者中，大多数人承认 PGx 检测的好处，但表示从未或很少使用过。相当一部分从业者报告了教育经验，但大多数人没有接受过培训。在报告使用 PGx 检测的群体中，实施的障碍是成本和培训不足。PGx 检测的感知成本以及培训不足或缺乏培训是导致北卡罗来纳州医疗保健提供者不常使用 PGx 检测的主要因素。
