Several critical themes arose concerning views of the roles of
others, particularly family members and HCWs, in decision-
making processes regarding HD testing. Overall, during the
decision-making process, family members and HCWs often
felt strongly whether an individual should get tested or not.
Interpersonal conflicts and pressures could ensue. As depicted
in Table 3, a 2 2 grid or table emerged in which an individual
may or may not want testing and others may want or not want
the individual to be tested. (Note: The identification number
of each subject, corresponding to the information in Table 1, is
indicated by a bracketed superscript.)
