This trial investigates the impact of an educational video compared to a fact sheet in enhancing the use of genetic counseling and testing for Latina women at-risk hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Having a change or alteration (genetic mutation) in certain genes can increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Latina women are less likely than non-Latina Whites to use genetic counseling and testing. Participating in genetic counseling and testing can inform important treatment and prevention decisions for individuals at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the impact of the video versus (vs.) FORCE fact sheet on genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA) and testing uptake and psychosocial outcomes.
II. Assess implementation potential and needs by evaluating feasibility, acceptability, reach, and adoption of the intervention arms (video and FORCE fact sheet) and of the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) screening process at the community clinics.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Participants watch an educational video. Patients also complete a survey over 30 minutes at baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 3 months.
ARM II: Participants review the FORCE fact sheet. Patients also complete a survey over 30 minutes at baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 3 months.
