J. Scott Roberts studies how people receive and respond to genetic and medical risk information, especially around Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and cardiovascular risk. Much of the work examines the psychological, behavioral, and ethical consequences of learning test results (such as genetic markers like APOE), including in settings like workplace genetic testing and consumer genetic testing. A recurring focus is the health, decision-making, and well-being of older adults.
