PITCH: Understanding Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancers
This study, called PITCH, is looking at how an educational video about genetic testing for hereditary cancers affects your understanding and feelings about it. If you are a woman aged 18 or older diagnosed with a cancer that can be hereditary, and you haven't had multi-gene panel testing before, you might be able to join. The study wants to see if watching the "genetic testing education video" helps you make an informed choice about genetic testing. Success will be measured by changes in your knowledge about cancer, as shown by a survey taken before and after watching the video. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is interventional and plans to enroll 200 participants. It involves comparing your knowledge and attitudes before and after an intervention.
- What's involved
- You will complete a survey, watch an educational video, and then complete another survey. This process is expected to take approximately 30 minutes.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your knowledge will be measured at baseline and approximately 30 minutes after the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Change in Multi-Dimensional Measure of Informed Choice (MMIC) - Cancer Knowledge ScaleBaseline and post intervention (approximately 30 minutes)
The MMIC is a compound assessment tool with three elements which are used together to differentiate an informed choice from a less informed choice. An informed choice is demonstrated by: Achieving =75% (6 of 8 questions) correct responses on the knowledge scale AND Making a decision that is in keeping with one's values related to the outcome (positive vs. negative) A less informed choice is demonstrated by: Achieving \<75% correct responses on the knowledge scale OR Achieving =75% correct responses on the knowledge scale but making a decision that is inconsistent with one's values (e.g., a patient values the information that may be obtained but chose not to undergo testing OR a patient does not value the information and chose to undergo testing)
