Genetic Counseling and Testing in Latina Women At-Risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer

Trial Status: complete

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.
