Video Education for Genetic Testing in Hereditary Cancers
This study is looking at ways to make genetic testing education more accessible for people at risk of hereditary cancers, especially Black and Latinx individuals. It compares an 8-minute "Video Education" video, which summarizes genetic counseling, with standard genetic counseling. The goal is to see how well the video education is accepted by participants. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have or had certain cancers like breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer, and can understand English or Spanish. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 1020 people.
