Official Title: Enhancing At-risk Latina Women's Use of Genetic Counseling for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer: Using Mental Models to Develop Culturally Targeted Media

Brief Summary: Compared to non-Latina Whites, Latinas have a higher prevalence of BRCA1/2 gene mutations but lower use of genetic cancer risk assessments services (GCRA). This study will develop and assess the impact of a novel culturally targeted media intervention to improve psychosocial outcomes and GCRA use in Latinas at-risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. If the intervention is proven to be effective in a future randomized controlled trial, the intervention can be disseminated to clinics and adapted to other ethnic groups.
