A new study from WashU Medicine examines the choices healthy research volunteers make when given the opportunity to learn their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease dementia. The researchers found a large discrepancy between the percentage of participants who said they would like to learn their risk if such estimates became available and the percentage who followed through to learn those results when given the actual opportunity.
