NCT02225015

Brief Summary

This study aims to develop a follow-up telephone-based genetic counselling (FTGC) intervention for women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation who have received genetic counseling in the past. Typically, when women undergo genetic testing, they receive standard genetic counselling prior to testing in order to fully understand the procedure and associated implications. If a woman's genetic test results are positive for a mutation, cancer prevention options are then discussed with a counsellor. However, in Canada, there is currently no formal follow-up counselling for women with a BRCA mutation to provide ongoing guidance and support about latest risk reduction strategies. Standard care relies on women making contact for any follow-up questions or concerns they may have. As a result, these women might not have the most current information regarding genetic risk assessment and prevention options. Therefore, individuals are being asked to participate in this study to aid research about the efficacy of FTGC in women with a BRCA mutation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Efficacy of FTGC session

    The primary aim is to determine the effects of a tailored risk communication intervention (FTGC) compared to a standard intervention

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Emotional and cognitive outcomes of intervention

    3 yrs

Study Arms (2)

FTGC at 1 month

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals randomized to the intervention group will receive a tailored cancer risk assessment via a follow-up telephone genetic counselling (FTGC) session within one month of study enrollment.

Behavioral: Follow-up Telephone Genetic Counselling

Standard Care + FTGC in 12 months

NO INTERVENTION

Individuals randomized to the intervention group will receive a tailored cancer risk assessment at 12 months following study enrollment

Interventions

Individualized theoretical genetic counselling among women with BRCA mutations to assess the impact it has on the uptake of cancer prevention strategies.

FTGC at 1 month
