This study is looking at new ways to help people with certain health conditions get genetic testing. The conditions include genetic predisposition (an increased chance of developing a disease due to your genes), paraganglioma (a rare tumor), pheochromocytoma (a tumor of the adrenal gland), ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and Parkinson's disease. Researchers are testing if a "behavioral nudge" – a gentle reminder or suggestion – given to doctors or patients can increase the number of people who get genetic testing. The goal is to see if these nudges can make it easier for people to get genetic testing when the results could help guide their medical care. The study aims to enroll 1000 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It is a pragmatic randomized clinical trial, which means participants will be randomly assigned to different groups to compare the effectiveness of various nudges.
