The investigators will conduct a two-arm RCT to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a culturally-adapted video developed by the team vs. FORCE fact sheet on enhancing genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA; including genetic counseling and option for genetic testing) uptake and psychosocial outcomes among Latinas at increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). All participants will receive referrals to free telephone genetic counseling in Spanish to address cost, pragmatic, and language barriers. The investigators will recruit 28 Latina women at-risk of HBOC (14 randomized at each arm) at three sites with sizable Latinx populations. The sites include community clinics/health organizations and hospitals with whom we have established collaborations \[Georgetown University (DC); Virginia Commonwealth University (VA)\]. Results will improve efforts to translate genomic guidelines into practice and will reduce disparities by evaluating a low cost highly disseminable culturally-targeted video while gathering data on effectiveness and implementation. Aim 1. Evaluate the impact of video vs. FORCE fact sheet on GCRA and testing uptake and psychosocial outcomes. Aim 2. Assess implementation potential and needs by evaluating feasibility, acceptability, reach, and adoption of the intervention arms (video and FORCE fact sheet) and of the HBOC screening process at the community clinics.
