Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Utility: Determine percentage of patients that report "GIA", the Genetic Information Assistant chatbox, is an acceptable form of family disclosure
Participants will complete a survey regarding the acceptability of GIA for use in disclosing results to family members. Feasibility will be assessed by tracking the number of family members contacted through GIA, the number of family members who access/interact with GIA, and the content topics most frequently covered in family member conversations.
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Impact:To determine percentage of family members that use the GIA chatbox by assessing the number of times GIA was used
1 year
Study Arms (1)
GIA Access
OTHERAll patients consented to this study will be given access to the GIA technology to share with their family members.
Interventions
Patients receive a secure GIA link from their provider and then are able to send their relatives the link to GIA through texting, email, and/or Facebook messenger. Once a relative clicks on the provided link, GIA's platform is structured as a decision tree, allowing family members to construct a personalized conversation about their family member's test results. This can be done either on a smartphone or computer. GIA provides basic genetics education and risk assessment and connects family members with local genetic counseling resources to continue this conversation and/or go forward with genetic testing. At the end of the conversation, the family member has the option of having a transcript sent to them via email for their reference. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the application of GIA for cascade testing in newly identified high risk breast and gynecologic mutation carriers.
