Intervention Approaches for Genetic Counseling and Testing in Underserved Ethnically/Racially Diverse Minority Populations
Genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA) informs risk management in women at-risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Disparities in GCRA uptake persist. This symposium discusses translational efforts to adapt a web-system that implements and tests an evidence-based theory of risk decision-making to enhance GCRA use in at-risk Latinas and Blacks.
