The purpose of our research study is to assess satisfaction with genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk in a high-risk population in Colorado and New Mexico.
This study plans to implement a community-based genetic testing program for hereditary cancer risk in a higher risk population. The study team will partner with the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance (COCA) and the Jewish Community Center (JCC) to provide educational events to the Jewish community.
Eligible participants must have at least one grandparent of Jewish ancestry OR be of Spanish ancestry with roots in the San Luis Valley, no prior genetic testing, no personal history of bone marrow transplant or blood cancer, currently live in Colorado OR New Mexico, and not currently pregnant.
