Phase N/A
  • The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study interventions including evaluations and follow up visits
    • After receiving genetic testing, participants will be placed into one of two counseling methodology groups:
    • Standard genetic counseling: Standard of care discussion
    • Quantitative genetic counseling: Discussion is guided by tables and graphs.
    • Participants will be on the research study for up to six months, with an optional extension to two years.
    • It is expected that about 450 people will participate.
    • This research study is a Feasibility Study, which is the first-time investigators are examining this form of genetic counseling.
    • This is a randomized study. Randomization means being put into a group by chance. It is like flipping a coin. Neither the participant nor the Investigator will choose the group the participant is assigned to.
