Testing a Culturally Adapted Telephone Genetic Counseling Intervention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Hereditary Breast Cancer

In brief

Participating in genetic cancer risk assessments (GCRA) for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) can inform treatment and risk management decisions and improve breast cancer outcomes. However, Latina women underuse GCRA services, which may increase breast cancer disparities. This study will adapt and test the impact of a Culturally Adapted Telephone Genetic Counseling Intervention to enhance the use and quality of genetic counseling services for underserved Latina women at-risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer
