Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Genetic counseling and testing (GCT) provides invaluable information for women who are at-risk of hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC). Black women underutilize GCT compared to White women. This study will conduct a RCT to test the efficacy of a culturally-tailored theory-based video intervention aimed to address key psychosocial factors (emotions, ambivalence) to improve uptake of genetic counseling in Black women at increased risk of HBOC. Findings from this study may offer an opportunity to engage at-risk Black women regarding genetic counseling through a multi-center trial and ultimately address the disparity in genetic counseling uptake that exists between Black and White women.
