Differential Susceptibility to Environmental Influences as a Theoretical Framework for Designing Genetic Nursing Research

Abstract

Avery KL

The trend of personalized medicine will require more genetic studies to be done. Nurses are perfectly suited to conduct these types of studies. Designing these types of studies requires using a theoretical framework. Differential Susceptibility to Environmental Influence is a framework that describes a step-wise approach to designing these types of studies. Test of the independence of the susceptibility factor and the predictor, test of the association between the susceptibility factor and the outcome, comparison of the regression plot, test of the specificity of the model by replacing susceptibility factors and outcomes are the steps required to evaluate differential susceptibility.
