Improving Genetic Counseling for Mothers with BRCA Gene Mutations
This study aims to help mothers who have a BRCA gene mutation (meaning they are at higher risk for hereditary breast cancer) make informed choices about discussing this information with their children. Researchers are testing two approaches: one involves education through a workbook, and the other adds peer support to the workbook education. The goal is to improve how mothers communicate with their children about hereditary breast cancer and to support their emotional well-being. To join, you must be a mother or primary caregiver to an adolescent or young adult (ages 13-24) and be undergoing genetic testing for hereditary breast cancer. The study plans to enroll 200 women, and its current status is unclear.
