About the Study

NOTE: This study is no longer recruiting people. 

 

This study is looking into how families share information among Caribbean people who have a genetic mutation linked to an increased risk of cancer. The goal is to understand the experiences of Caribbean people dealing with a higher chance of developing cancer. This study will help us figure out how genetic counselors can better support Caribbean patients and their family members in handling this genetic information.
