Zoom Interviews to Explore Ideas about Long-Term Follow-Up Cancer Genetic Counseling
About the Study
This study aims to explore perceptions of patients and genetic counselors about long-term follow-up in cancer genetic counseling, including if and how patients would like additional follow-up with a genetic counselor beyond the pre- and post-test counseling session. If you wish to participate, email the student investigator to schedule a voluntary 30–60-minute Zoom interview. All information will be de-identified. There are no costs associated with participation.
What the Study Entails
You are being asked to participate in a voluntary student research study investigating long-term follow-up in genetic counseling. Eligibility will be confirmed via email correspondence with the student investigator. The participant will be asked to sign a waiver acknowledging that their participation is voluntary. Next the student investigator will schedule an interview at a time and day convenient for you. All interviews will be conducted via Zoom and are expected to last around 30-60 minutes.
