Chatbot vs. counselor: which boosts cancer genetic testing?
NCT ID NCT06089421
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study compares two ways of providing pre-test education for cancer genetic testing: a chatbot (called GIA) versus a live genetic counselor. About 96 adults at high risk for certain cancers will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to see if the chatbot is as effective as the counselor in helping people decide whether to get tested. Participants will also answer questions about their cancer knowledge and well-being, and provide a saliva sample for genetic testing.
