“…Only four participants, of the 41 who took part in the study, had been recontacted by a genetics service (Carrieri et al, 2017a;Dheensa et al, 2017), highlighting the limited empirical evidence base for this practice. Recently, a small number of studies suggested that the majority of individuals recontacted for a variety of conditions have positive attitudes to recontact, although some individuals may be wary of the additional information because of the potential for negative emotions (Bernard, McGillivray, Van Allen, Friedman, & Langlois, 1999;Beunders, Dekker, Haver, Meijers-Heijboer, & Henneman, 2018;Romero Arenas et al, 2018;Sexton, Sahhar, Thorburn, & Metcalfe, 2008). These studies highlight that the experience of recontact is psychologically complex and can lead to ambivalent responses (Carrieri et al, 2017a).…”
