Development and Implementation of Electronic Decision Aids for Genetic Testing in Inherited Cancer Syndromes

Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

An electronic decision aid will be used to assist individuals in choosing a multi-gene panel with their medical oncologist instead of a genetic counselor. A decision aid may facilitate quality decisions around the selection of a specific multi-gene panel without a genetic counselor. Upon completion of the decision aid, participants will be asked to indicate their decision about whether to pursue genetic testing and which specific multi-gene panel to pursue. A survey will then be administered to assess participants' opinions on the decision aid.
