About the Study
This study is no longer recruiting people.
Genetic counseling/testing have emerged as a healthcare disparity issue. This disparity is partly due to lack of awareness, poor understanding of risk, and lack of referral for genetic counseling/testing. The Latino community has been negatively impacted since many are not referred to genetic counseling/testing. The goal of this study is to interview Latinas to explore their experience and to share this information to those caring for Latinas at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
