Stand up to Cancer: MAGENTA (Making Genetic Testing Accessible)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This randomized clinical trial studies how well online genetics educational video with or without pre- and/or post-telephone genetics counseling works in assessing cancer-risk distress in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Online genetic education and telephone genetic counseling may help the doctors learn the stress a person feels about their risk of cancer.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To test the effects of online genetic education versus telephone genetic counseling on cancer-risk distress.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To test the effects of online genetic education versus telephone genetic counseling on testing completion rates.
-
To evaluate the role of psychological and social variables in women's reactions to genetic testing for ovarian cancer risk with variable education strategies.
-
To consider the effects of variations of genetic education/counseling on genetic knowledge, satisfaction with the decision to undergo testing, and family communication.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized into 1 of 4 arms.
ARM A: Patients watch genetic testing online educational video and receive genetic testing online test results report.
ARM B: Patients watch genetic testing online educational video, receive genetic testing online test results report, and post-telephone genetic counseling.
ARM C: Patients watch genetic testing online educational video, receive pre-telephone genetic counseling, genetic testing online test results report, and post-telephone genetic counseling.
ARM D: Patients watch genetic testing online educational video, receive pre-telephone genetic counseling, and genetic testing online test results report.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean cancer stress scores [Up to 4 years]
Mean cancer stress scores are measured on the Impact of Events Scale (IES), a 15-item self-report measure that assesses subjective distress caused by traumatic events, which may include a positive genetic test result.There are two subscales, Intrusion and Avoidance, used to calculate a total. The range for Intrusion is 0-35 and the range for Avoidance is 0-40. The range of the total score is 0-75. Higher scores reflect more stressful impact, and therefore, a worse outcome. Subscales are summed to compute the total score.
