About this study

In plain language

This study compares a video made for Latina women with a Spanish fact sheet to see whether they help more women get genetic counseling and testing. These services help people learn about cancer risk passed down in families. The study is for Latina women at risk for inherited breast and ovarian cancer; it also studies use of the video and a risk screening tool in community clinics.

This is a mixed-methods Hybrid Type 1 research design (efficacy study) in which we aim to conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial and an Implementation Focused Process Evaluation of a culturally-targeted video and referral screening tool. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally targeted video previously developed by the research team vs. a Spanish-language fact sheet from an established group on enhancing genetic counseling and testing uptake and psychosocial outcomes in Latina women at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The investigators will test the video's efficacy while also gathering data on the implementation and future sustainability of using the Risk Screening Tool (RST) and video in community clinics.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
