Full Description

African American (AA) women with a family history of breast cancer who are eligible for genetic counseling and express an interest in participating in the study will be consented and complete a brief survey before and after viewing an educational video on genetic counseling. Survey questions will be read to each participant. The questions capture data on the following constructs regarding genetic counseling: knowledge, attitudes, normative beliefs, motivation, perceived social norms, intention, efficacy beliefs, skills, environmental constraints and opinions on the video. The research team will conduct a review of the UI Health Electronic Medical Record (EMR) 3-6 months after study enrollment to determine if the participant attended a genetic counseling session.
