*A relative risk greater than one indicates that the patient group was more likely to be referred than the specified reference group, whereas a value below one indicates that they are less likely to be referred relative to the reference group.
The ad -- without addressing the issue -- may also help soften the blow of several days of bad press Mr. McCall has received over his referring relatives for jobs at companies with business before the state pension fund he oversees.
Factors associated with GPs' willingness to refer relatives were examined.
Willingness to refer relatives for FGT was established if GPs indicated 'yes' or 'conditionally'conditionally
(iii) Are medical practitioners likely to refer relatives for genetic testing?
To modify GPs' key role in referring relatives for it, GPs should be well informed of its usefulness and to whom.
This study demonstrates that GPs think that effective follow-up care for relatives bereaved by suicide (e.g. FGT) is useful and they are willing to refer relatives if it were available.
16 In order to study the proposed key role of GPs in referring relatives for follow-up care, we investigated the GPs' attitudes and management of help requests following a suicide within the framework of experimentally implementing FGT.
Although not statistically significant, exposure to help requests was associated with a two times reduced likelihood of the perception that follow-up care is useful and GPs willingness to refer relatives for it.
Finally, the associations between the aforementioned determinants as well as perception that help is useful were examined in independent association with GPs' willingness to refer relatives for follow-up care.
