Can a video chat replace your genetic counselor? new study tests online option

This study is testing whether a new, more convenient online genetic counseling approach works as well as traditional in-person counseling for women at higher risk for breast cancer. Researchers are comparing two methods: one uses educational videos and online tools through a patient portal, while the other uses standard genetic counseling. The goal is to see if the online approach helps women follow screening guidelines, understand their risk, and feel satisfied with counseling just as well as the traditional method.
