Testing an Intelligent Tutoring System to Enhance Genetic Risk Assessment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer

In brief

Participating in genetic cancer risk assessments (GCRA) for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer can inform treatment and risk management decisions and improve breast cancer outcomes. However, Latina and Black women underuse GCRA services, which may increase breast cancer disparities. This study will adapt and test the impact of an easily scalable novel Tutoring System intervention to enhance GCRA use and improve psychosocial outcomes in a clinical sample of underserved Latina and Black women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
