Brief Summary
Currently, there is no clear legal or ethical guidance about how researchers and IRBs ought to proceed when the research participant in a biobank is deceased and there is clinically relevant information that could be disclosed to family members. This study is designed to test a procedure offering genetic information to family members of research participants who participated in a pancreatic cancer biobank in a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) -compliant design.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Uptake of disclosure invitation
The primary outcome is: relative proportions of individuals who, when offered genetic results of a deceased family member who participated in a biobank study, will decide to learn those results. Uptake will be a binary outcome (Yes/No). We will enumerate the number of invited participants who choose to learn results and who choose not to learn results.
