Poster Session VII - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Communication

Abstract: The study examines how 759 Black women communicate genetic cancer risk results to family members. It investigates how family support, risk perception, and guilt influence result-sharing behavior and satisfaction of family communication. Understanding these factors could help develop interventions to improve sharing of genetic test results among families.
