Summary
This study looked at two ways to help breast and ovarian cancer survivors get genetic counseling: a mailed brochure or a phone call with a health coach. About 668 women took part. The goal was to see which method led more people to actually get genetic counseling or testing. The results can help doctors and clinics choose the best approach to support patients.
