The Genetics Empowerment Scale (GES-24):
A new questionnaire to measure outcomes from clinical genetics services

My name is Marion McAllister (find out more about me) and I am carrying out research to develop new ways of measuring how people from families affected by genetic diseases or conditions may benefit from seeing a geneticist / genetic counsellor or attending a genetics clinic. As part of this work, I am developing a questionnaire that will examine patients' thoughts, feelings and attitudes about the family condition.
