First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a self-guided online genetic testing program to standard in-person counseling for people at risk of hereditary cancer. About 1,000 adults who meet national guidelines for genetic testing will participate. The goal is to see if the online option works just as well in terms of knowledge, anxiety, and testing rates, potentially making genetic testing more accessible.
