Summary

This study looked at whether an online self-guided program could effectively return genetic test results to African American women who had previously participated in breast cancer research. About 926 women were involved, and researchers measured how many chose to learn their results, as well as changes in knowledge, depression, anxiety, and distress. The goal was to find scalable ways to give more women access to their personal genetic health information.
