[Social diffusion of genetic counseling in the Provence Alpes-Côte d'Azur region]
Abstract:
Accessibility to medical care in general, and to new techniques in particular, is unequal as much from a social as a geographical standpoint. We have reconstituted the geographical distribution network for genetic consultation at Marseilles for consultees having benefitted from genetic counselling in 1983 (984 files). For the region (except the Alpes Maritimes) the incidence rate for this consultation was 13.6 per 10,000 women of child bearing age. A parallel study of doctors participating in the recruitment of these patients objectifies the essential role of obstetricians, gynaecologists as well as general practitioners and shows different directions for training and data for the medical profession liable to contribute to better prevention of handicaps of genetic origin.
