Intervention Development
Intervention Pilot - Intervention Group
Intervention Pilot - Control Group
Psychoeducational Intervention (PEI) development. PEIs include printed and DVD materials, and represent a commonly used and effective approach to implement theoretically based individual-level interventions. These materials serve as important sources of information for the general public, cancer patients, and survivors from a variety of backgrounds, including populations with limited health literacy. An interview and feedback collection process will take place to provide data to improve current PEI materials.
The intervention group will receive the PEI materials: video and booklet. Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare response with the control group.
The control group will receive a patient factsheet about Genetic Counseling (GC). Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare response with the intervention group.
