The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University invites you to participate in a research study looking at individuals’ knowledge of genetic testing of celiac disease and their potential concerns with such testing. The goal of this study is to increase understanding of the factors associated with making an informed decision regarding such testing and to better provide the necessary information to make such a decision.
A brief
survey has been developed to address some of these factors. The survey only takes five minutes to complete, it is anonymous, and no identifying information is collected.

Thanks to the good folks at Kim and Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels now there is a
