Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the prevalence and determinants of awareness of precision medicine among a nationally representative sample of individuals with self-reported depression and anxiety in the United States.\"
METHODS: Data were obtained from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 5, Cycle 4, which is a study administered by the National Cancer Institute and is nationally representative. The survey, conducted between February and June 2020, targeted non-institutionalized, civilian US adults aged 18 years and older. Utilizing survey-weighted logistic regression, predictors of precision medicine awareness were assessed, encompassing sociodemographic, health-related, and technological factors.
RESULTS: Among 890 individuals with self-reported depression and/or anxiety, approximately 15.3% reported awareness of precision medicine. Participants who had a higher level of education and those who had increased health-linked social media usage were three times more likely to be aware of precision medicine compared to those who did not. Old age was also positively associated with increased awareness.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study\'s findings have disclosed an alarming lack of awareness of precision medicine, particularly among mentally ill persons with anxiety or depression, in which the targeted subgroups, including individuals with lower education levels and limited health-linked social media utilization, indicated lower levels of awareness. As such, it is recommended that such disparities be tackled using customized interventions along with educational initiatives, as this is likely to improve awareness levels while also ensuring equitable and increased access to precision medicine within the context of mental health.

摘要：
目的：本研究调查了在美国有代表性的自我报告的抑郁和焦虑个体中对精准医学的认知的患病率和决定因素。
方法：数据来自健康信息国家趋势调查（HINTS）5，第4周期，该研究由国家癌症研究所管理，具有全国代表性。调查,在2020年2月至6月间进行，有针对性的非制度化，18岁及以上的美国平民成年人。利用调查加权逻辑回归，评估了精准医学意识的预测因素，包括社会人口统计学，健康相关,和技术因素。
结果：在890名自我报告抑郁和/或焦虑的个体中，大约15.3%的人报告了精准医学的意识。受教育程度较高的参与者和那些与健康相关的社交媒体使用率增加的参与者意识到精准医学的可能性是那些没有的人的三倍。老年也与意识的提高有关。
结论：本研究的发现揭示了人们对精准医学缺乏惊人的认识，特别是在患有焦虑或抑郁的精神病患者中，其中目标小组，包括受教育程度较低和与健康相关的社交媒体利用率有限的个人，表明意识水平较低。因此，建议使用定制干预措施和教育举措来解决这种差距，因为这可能会提高人们的认识水平，同时也确保在心理健康的背景下公平和更多地获得精准医疗。
