RATIONALE: Learning about the concerns that individuals may have about providing family medical history online for genetic risk assessment or research may help doctors plan future research.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying views on sharing family medical history in healthy women undergoing mammograms or breast evaluation.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Participants undergo a 45-60 minute interview to assess their attitudes and concerns about providing family medical history online for genetic risk assessment or research. Participants' feelings about whether or not to use an online genetic assessment tool (i.e., Genetic Risk Easy Assessment Tool [GREAT]) are explored. The GREAT allows for the electronic creation, analysis, and dissemination of family histories of individuals who may be at risk for various types of cancer. Key factors influencing a participant's use of the tool, including concerns about confidentiality, privacy, informed consent, access to risk information, and security of online family history databases, are explored. Ethical issues regarding communication and agreement among family members on disclosing family medical history are also discussed.
