Summary

The overall goal of the proposed research is to evaluate psychosocial and behavioral outcomes (i.e.risks and benefits) of an innovative and efficient delivery model for genetic testing, telephone communication, as an alternative to in-person communication of genetic testing results to inform guidelines regarding the delivery of genetic information in clinical medicine.

Conditions

  • Candidates for BRCA 1/2 Genetic Testing

Interventions

GENETIC

Genetic Providers

Genetic providers (genetic counselors or nurses) will follow the standardized disclosure protocol for in-person and telephone disclosures whle completing a disclosure flow checklist.

OTHER

Visual Aids

Visual aids targeted to facilitate communication of genetic test results were developed based on our preliminary studies and modified based on our initial pilot study.

OTHER

Post-Disclosure Asessments

Within 72 hours of completion of disclosures, participants will be asked to complete post-disclosure survey again being the option to complete by the aforementioned means.

OTHER

In-person Clinical Follow-Up

Participants who receive their test results in person will meet with a Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioneras part of their in person disclosure session. Participants randomiZed to telephone disclosure will be recommendedto schedule an in-person clinical follow-up appointment with a Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
