Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To gain an initial understanding of the ethical, family, and related concerns that individuals may have when offered the option of providing family medical history online for genetic risk assessment or research.
* To identify specific directions for future research into the ethics of online genetic risk assessment.

OUTLINE: Participants undergo a 45-60 minute interview to assess their attitudes and concerns about providing family medical history online for genetic risk assessment or research. Participants' feelings about whether or not to use an online genetic assessment tool (i.e., Genetic Risk Easy Assessment Tool \[GREAT\]) are explored. The GREAT allows for the electronic creation, analysis, and dissemination of family histories of individuals who may be at risk for various types of cancer. Key factors influencing a participant's use of the tool, including concerns about confidentiality, privacy, informed consent, access to risk information, and security of online family history databases, are explored. Ethical issues regarding communication and agreement among family members on disclosing family medical history are also discussed.
