Clinical and Family Conversations Regarding Genetic Testing
This study compares content in clinical and family interactions in the context of cancer-related genetic testing (CGT) of a patient with ovarian cancer. The sample was taken as an extreme instance from a larger study, representing participants in a situation with substantial uncertainty. Participants include a genetic counselor, a patient diagnosed with ovarian cancer who received a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) result, and her adult fa…

Covid-19, Genetics, and Risk
The COVID-19 pandemic represented a unique information seeking and sharing context for billions of Internet users across the globe. Although previous research has established that people often seek health information on the Internet, including through social media platforms, there was a political element to pandemic responses that is not typical of health issues such as seasonal influenza or heart conditions. This unique context, in conjunction w…
Communication About Negative and Uncertain Results
This case study focuses on a video telehealth consult to discuss genetic testing results. Participants include a Genetic Counselor (GC) and a Patient (P) previously diagnosed with ovarian cancer who is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Utilizing conversation analysis (CA), attention is first given to a series of interactional dilemmas as GC delivers and P responds to negative, uncertain, and complex test results. Specific findings add…
Emerging Professional Identity in Patient Hand-Off Routines
Recent research of healthcare providers identifies the critical role that professional identity plays in the provision of healthcare, interactions within healthcare teams, and healthcare provider perceptions of their work. However, much remains to be known regarding the role of professional identity in routine interactions for emerging healthcare professionals. This study enriches understandings of this particular issue by exploring pediatric res…
Family Sense-Making After a Down Syndrome Diagnosis
The script of parenting shifts when parents learn of their child's Down syndrome diagnosis. To build a theory of the diagnostic experience and early family sense-making process, we interviewed 33 parents and nine grandparents living in the United States who learned prenatally or neonatally of their child's diagnosis. The core category of rescuing hope for the future encompassed the social process of sense-making over time as parents managed their…
Family Health History Tools as Communication Resources
Many tools facilitate gathering family health history (FHH) information. Public health initiatives have focused on improving FHH communication. Research indicates that tools remain largely unused in non-clinical settings and people tend to refrain from engaging in FHH communication. Research also indicates that cultural and family relationship factors influence FHH communication and tool use. This study investigated FHH tools as resources for FHH…
Beyond Hospital Discharge Mechanics
Hospital discharge processes are complex and confusing, and can detrimentally affect patients, families, and providers. This qualitative study investigated pediatric hospital discharge experiences from the perspectives of parents of children with acute and chronic health conditions, primary care providers, and hospitalists. Focus groups and interviews with parents, primary care providers, and hospitalists were used to explore discharge experience…
Structuration Theory
Structuration theory is a general social theory that enjoys significant influence across disciplines. It has guided theorizing and research in communication, especially in organizational and group communication. The theory is distinctive in its devotion to overcoming clashes among empiricist, interpretive, and critical perspectives, and between micro‐ and macro‐oriented scholarship. Its perspective emphasizes concepts of practice, agency, and tim…
Business and Breakthrough
A growing body of research has given attention to issues surrounding genetic testing, including expanded carrier screening (ECS), an elective medical test that allows planning or expecting parents to consider the potential occurrence of genetic diseases and disorders in their children. These studies have noted the role of the mass media in driving public perceptions about such testing, giving particular attention to ways in which coverage of gene…
Enacting Sustainable School-Based Health Initiatives
Communication plays an important role in all aspects of the development and use of policy. We present a communication-centered perspective on the processes of enacting public health policies. Our proposed conceptual framework comprises 4 communication frames: orientation, amplification, implementation, and integration. Empirical examples from 2 longitudinal studies of school-based health policies show how each frame includes different communicati…
Structurating Activity Theory
This article presents a theoretical framework for investigating the communicative construction of policy knowledge. Research regarding public policy and organizational knowledge demonstrates the importance of these areas for organizational communication scholars. In light of this research, structurating activity theory is offered as an integration of structuration theory and cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Four theoretical constructs …
Constructing Policy Knowledge
This study examined the communicative construction of policy knowledge within and across groups. Participants were 100 professionals and parents involved in special education and the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Structurating activity theory guided the interpretive analysis of communication and contradictions as participants developed policy knowledge over time. Results indicate that contradictions emerged as both generati…
