Differences in Family Communication about Positive Genetic Test Results Between Asian Americans
About the Study
This study aims to explore family communication differences across Asian American families about testing positive for an inherited mutation in , , , , , , , , , , or another gene linked to hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer. Participants will complete a 10–15-minute initial intake survey to confirm eligibility. Eligible participants will then be contacted to schedule a 30-45-minute-long interview over Zoom to explore these topics. After completion of the interview, participants will be entered into a raffle for two $50 Visa gift cards. There are no costs associated with participation.
What the Study Involves
You and/or your loved ones are being asked to participate in a student research study investigating differences in family communication about positive genetic testing results for a gene linked to hereditary breast or ovarian cancer between different Asian American ethnic groups, whether it is through a variant in , , or a different gene.
All participants will complete a 10--15-minute initial intake survey to confirm eligibility. Eligible participants will then be contacted for a voluntary, 30–45-minute interview.
After completion of the interview, you will be entered into a raffle for 2 $50 Visa gift cards. If you would like to participate in the interview, you can access the initial intake survey via this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SMYWRSN
