Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: pre-educated with educational video Participants will receive a message to view educational videos prior to their genetic counseling appointment if they are assigned to a pre-educated arm. The video will be shared with patients via MyHealth in the "education" tab in advance of the genetic counseling session |
Other: Educational video and pamphlet
The primary intervention in this study is watching the video or reading the pamphlet in advance of the genetic counseling session, which overview the same information that we currently provide in-person/via telehealth during the genetic counseling session.
Other: Traditional genetic counseling
Patients will receive traditional genetic counseling
|
| Experimental: pre-educated with pamphlet Participants will receive a message to view a pamphlet prior to their genetic counseling appointment if they are assigned to a pre-educated arm. The pamphlet will be sent to patients who cannot access the video via regular mail in advance of the genetic counseling session |
Other: Educational video and pamphlet
The primary intervention in this study is watching the video or reading the pamphlet in advance of the genetic counseling session, which overview the same information that we currently provide in-person/via telehealth during the genetic counseling session.
Other: Traditional genetic counseling

| Other: educated during the session Participants will receive traditional genetic counseling. . After the genetic counseling session, they will fill out a validated survey called the Multi-dimensional Measure of Informed Choice (MMIC) that assesses attitudes, knowledge, and uptake of genetic testing |
