This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing a new way to teach people about genetic testing for inherited cancer risk using a short educational video. The study has two parts: first, a small group of 20 people will watch an 8-minute video and share their feedback in an interview; then, a larger group of 1,000 people will compare this video approach to standard genetic counseling to see which one works better.
Many people with cancer don't know whether they carry inherited genetic mutations that increase cancer risk in their families. This study is testing whether a short, accessible video can help more people understand their genetic testing options and make better informed decisions.

If you're in the first part of the study, you'll watch an 8-minute educational video about genetic testing, then participate in a recorded interview by video or phone with a research team member—the whole process should take about an hour. If you're selected for the larger second part, you'll either receive the video education or standard genetic counseling, and researchers will compare how well each approach works to help people understand their genetic testing options.
