Summary
This study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital looks at how parents and children (ages 10-24) talk about the child's genetic risk for cancer. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders these conversations, so doctors can create better education programs. The study will involve 125 families and use interviews and questionnaires to measure communication quality and its impact on anxiety and prevention behaviors.
