Description: Pharmacogenetic testing (PGX) offers opportunities to increase efficacy of the tobacco cessation program however, little is known about barriers to PGX in Alaska Native/American Indian communities. To inform future programs, we conducted semi-structured interviews. The majority of stakeholders endorse the use of PGX to guide tobacco cessation in primary care.
