Study Summary
The primary goal of this research is to develop and test a web-based genetic education/counseling intervention. This intervention is designed to educate men from hereditary cancer families about the personal relevance of genetic testing in order to help them make decisions about whether to pursue genetic testing. The investigators will test this intervention against standard care for men from hereditary cancer families. The web-based educational intervention includes all of the information typically covered during genetic counseling. As a result, after completing the education intervention participants can proceed directly to genetic testing if they choose. The investigators will conduct a survey prior to randomization and then follow-up surveys at 1-month and 6-months post-randomization. The primary outcome will be uptake of genetic testing. Secondary outcomes will be completion of genetic counseling and decision satisfaction.
