To assess the nature of ideological intuitions citizens use when making informed guesses about other people's political issue positions. In other words, what do people conclude about each other's wider system of political beliefs upon learning that a conversation partner supports (or opposes) a certain policy position or regulation (e.g. support for renewable energy investments, opposition to the death penalty). Intuitions about wider sets of political beliefs may be relevant to political decision making (e.g. voting, candidate appraisal) and in everyday social interactions (deciding which friend-circles to enter, whom to associate with, which clubs, associations to join, ect). The goal of this study is to gain an overview of the prevalence and relative strength of ideological intuitions for a set of 16 different political attitudes and identity markers.

The purpose of this research is to improve early diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and through the implementation of cascade screening, or family genetic testing for FH. To identify areas for improvement, we are recruiting stakeholders to participate in qualitative interviews. We will use this information to better understand barriers and facilitators for a specific diagnostic strategy called cascade screening. This strategy involves contacting family members to discuss their risk of having familial hypercholesterolemia and arranging for screening to check for very high cholesterol and genes associated with it. Once this tool has been implemented, we will conduct 20 more qualitative interviews to further understand barriers and facilitators to adoption of the diagnostic tool.
