Abstract

Purpose: To identify mothers' salient normative, behavioral and control beliefs and willingness towards participating in genetic salivary testing for depression. Design: A qualitative, descriptive design was employed. 41 multi-ethnic mothers completed surveys that underwent directed content analysis according to The Theory of Planned Behavior. Percentages and frequency counts were used to categorize responses and calculate willingness. Findings: Salient beliefs included: Behavioral: Finding a cure/treatment for depression (29.3 %), Normative: Family would approve (46.3 %), and Church associates would disapprove (19.5 %). Control: Lacking information/explanations (34.1 %) as barriers, convenient locations (24.4 %) as facilitators. Most mothers indicated a willingness to participate (90.2 %). Conclusions: Interventions should target families, emphasize benefits, explain purposes and procedures, and use community based participatory methods.
