Summary

This study looks at whether an educational video can help people with certain cancers make informed choices about genetic testing. Participants will take a survey, watch a short video, and then take another survey to see if their knowledge and attitudes changed. The goal is to see if the video helps them decide whether to pursue genetic testing for hereditary cancer risks.
