Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Electronic Decision Aid

Arm Description

Participants in this arm will complete an electronic decision aid for genetic testing.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Participant satisfaction with how educational information is presented in the decision aid
Measured with 6 items on a questionnaire that asks participants to rate the way certain information is presented on the decision aid. Each item is rated on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being poor and 4 being excellent.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total time spent on decision aid
The total amount of minutes spent on the decision aid

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
An electronic decision aid will be used to assist individuals in choosing a multi-gene panel with their medical oncologist instead of a genetic counselor. A decision aid may facilitate quality decisions around the selection of a specific multi-gene panel without a genetic counselor. Upon completion of the decision aid, participants will be asked to indicate their decision about whether to pursue genetic testing and which specific multi-gene panel to pursue. A survey will then be administered to assess participants' opinions on the decision aid.
