Evaluating Cascade Communication Methods

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Hereditary cancer programs face challenges with respect to effective communication of genetic test results within families and uptake of genetic testing by relatives. This study aims to determine if a "disclosure toolkit" provided to the index participant (carrier of cancer risk gene mutation) contributes to sharing genetic test results with relatives, if there are preferred disclosure methods, and whether toolkit use contributes towards at-risk relatives pursuing genetic testing.
