Mom knows best: using family history to fight disease

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: FHP Evaluation Phase Eligible participants for the FHP Evaluation Phase will be invited to participate in the study if they meet the following criteria: 1. be able to read and speak English 2. age \>= 18 years 3. indicate a willingness to participate in a focus group/discussion. * The urban FHP evaluation phase (Washington, DC Metro area) also requires participants to have at least one child. (The rural FHP evaluation, Southeastern US, does not.) This information will be gauged from the IVETA database and/or through the initial recruitment discussion. This inclusion criteria has been established as we are interested in examining health behaviors across generations in an efficient and timely manner through surveys and focus groups. Focus group participants will be recruited from the larger sample of participants completing surveys. Therefore, participants will be required to read and speak English as the focus groups will be conducted in English. As this is a pilot study, it is not feasible to recruit large numbers of participants in order to do the focus groups and provide versions of the survey in alternate languages. -Those who are adopted will be excluded from the study FHeP Individual Evaluation Phase Individual Evaluation Eligible participants will be invited to participate in the study if they meet the followingcriteria: 1. able to read, write, and speak English, 2. able to visit the Clinical Center on the Bethesda, MD main campus for one visit 3. adult 4. demonstrate basic computer literacy * NHGRI employees and those who are adopted will be excluded from the study Family Evaluation Eligible participants will be invited to participate in the study if they meet the following criteria: 1. able to read, write, and speak English 2. adult 3. demonstrate basic computer literacy 4. willing to invite at least 2 biological family members to participate * Those who are adopted will be excluded from the study FHP Community-based Education Program Eligible participants will be invited to participate in the study if they meet the following criteria: 1. able to read, write, and speak English, 2. adult, (greater than or equal to 18 years of age), and 3. indicate a willingness to participate in the study. * Those who are adopted will be excluded from the study.
