Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates genetic testing in cancer patients. This study is creating educational materials for people from different backgrounds.

The study focuses on developing and testing a new model for genetic testing in cancer patients. It evaluates how this model might improve decision-making and satisfaction with genetic counseling compared to the usual care.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be 18 or older, diagnosed with certain cancers, fluent in English, Haitian Creole, or Spanish, and have no prior genetic counseling or testing for cancer risk.
  • Study details: Participants will review educational materials and provide feedback, with some receiving adapted materials and genetic counseling through videoconferencing. A placebo is not involved in this study.
