A Randomized Study Of TeleGenetics Versus Usual Care To Increase Access To Cancer Genetic Services
The goal of this research is to evaluate the relative advantage of remote counseling over usual care in community health practices without access to genetic services. We will evaluate ability of remote telemedicine, referred to going forward as TeleGenetic services (phone or videoconferencing), to increase uptake of genetic testing and identification of genetic carriers compared to usual care. Secondly, we will evaluate the advantages of videoconferencing over telephone for delivery of remote genetic services and the short-term and longitudinal outcomes of TeleGenetic services in socio-demographically diverse patients in community practices.
