What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients/participants that undergo hereditary cancer genetic testing after the telehealth intervention.

    Defined as the number of participants who opt to undergo hereditary cancer genetic testing as a percentage of the total number of participants enrolled.

    Time frame: 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall participant satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction will be assessed with an adapted Genetic Counseling Satisfaction Scale (aGCSS). Each item is scored from 1- 5, with 1 being strongly disagree and 5 being agree strongly. The scores are added then divided by 5 to give a mean score.

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Clinical decisional conflict score

    Decisional conflict will be assessed using the Decisional Conflict Scale (Sure Test Version). The 4 items are summed. Scores range from 0 (extremely high decisional conflict) to 4 (no decisional conflict). A score of less than or equal to 3 indicates decisional conflict.

    Time frame: 24 months

  3. Overall participant anxiety

    Participant anxiety will be assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-Anxiety scale). Each item is scored between 0- 3 with a total score between 0- 21 possible. Scores of 0-7 indicates normal; scores of 8-10 indicates borderline abnormal; scores of 11-21 indicates abnormal.

    Time frame: 24 months
