Germline genetic testing has been increasingly conducted for treatment implications in patients with prostate cancer due to the expansion of testing eligibility. Understanding patients' comprehension of genetic results is crucial for establishing effective result disclosure practices. This importance has grown due to the increasing prevalence of negative genetic results being conveyed via electronic communication and by providers without a genetics specialization.

Additive genetic variances and associated heritabilities can vary across environmental conditions, especially for labile phenotypic traits expressed through early life. However, short-term seasonal dynamics of genetic variances are rarely quantified in wild populations, precluding inference on eco-evolutionary outcomes in seasonally dynamic systems.

Background: Discontinuity between health care delivery systems and community-based organizations is a significant barrier to improving population health.
Objective: To describe the facilitators and barriers experienced by a health system-community partnership 15 months after implementation.
Methods: Coalition members who led committees within the coalition or had active, sustained participation in coalition activities were invited to participate.
