Testing an Intelligent Tutoring System Intervention to Enhance Genetic Risk Assessment in Underserved Blacks and Latinas at Risk of Hereditary Breast Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating BRCA-Gist for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Completed, enrolled 95 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Participating in genetic cancer risk assessments (GCRA) for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer can inform treatment and risk management decisions and improve breast cancer outcomes. However, Latina and Black women underuse GCRA services, which may increase breast cancer disparities. This study will adapt and test the impact of an easily scalable novel Tutoring System intervention to enhance GCRA use and improve psychosocial outcomes in a clinical sample of underserved Latina and Black women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Interventions
BRCA-gist is an innovative Intelligent Tutoring System intervention that uses avatars to emulate tailored one-to-one human tutoring and includes the bottom-line meaning of risk messages. BRCA-gist is designed to provide the same information contained in four modules from the NCI webpages: "breast cancer and metastasis," "risk factors," "genetic mutation testing," and "the consequences of testing.
