Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about different ways cancer genetic screening can be provided to rural communities in participants at high risk for certain cancers. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does receiving pre-genetic test education with a chat bot or genetic counselor affect if the participant decides to get genetic testing? Participants will: * have a pre-test genetic counselling session with a genetic counselor or the GIA chatbot * answer questions about their cancer genetic knowledge and how they are doing * provide a saliva sample for genetic testing to test for cancer gene mutations * have their genetic testing results provided to them. * have the option to share their genetic testing results with family members Researchers will compare how many participants who had pre-genetic counseling with the chatbot received genetic testing to how many participants who had pre-genetic counseling with a genetic counselor received genetic testing.
