First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to help African American cancer survivors learn about and get genetic testing for hereditary cancer risks. Researchers are adapting an online educational program to be culturally relevant, with input from community leaders and genetics experts. About 85 participants from Detroit will take surveys before and after the program, and at 3 months, to see if it increases their use of genetic counseling and testing.
