Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if a web-based tool that collects family health history is useful for patients being seen in a gynecologic oncology office setting. This research study is being done because collecting a comprehensive family health history is critical as it allows physicians to appropriately refer patients for genetic counseling and genetic testing. However, prior research indicates that the family health history collected in clinical settings is often inadequate to truly assess the risk of genetic disease. Therefore we plan to explore a web-based program that guides patients through the collection of their family health history and uses this information to create clear concise pedigrees (family tree information) and risk assessment models that can be used by a physician during the office visit.
