Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to first understand how MSKCC Clinical Genetics Service doctors talk to women with breast cancer about any genetic risks they might carry, and if they help women to think about what they might say, in turn, to their relatives, especially their daughters.

A second part of the study asks women for their opinions about when and how their daughters should be told about any genetic risks.

All of this will help us develop teaching methods to help our doctors improve the way they talk about genetic risk when women with breast cancer have adolescent daughters.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

focus group & questionaire

The group will discuss its views about how and when to talk about the risk of getting breast cancer. The focus group will be video recorded and the video recorded material will be later transcribed and carefully analyzed. In addition you will be asked to answer questions about yourself, such as education and marital status.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The focus group will last about 90 minutes. However, your involvement in this study will last from the time you join until you read over the summary of what happened during the focus group and return your comments. This should be approximately 2 months. Patient will complete a questionnaire and we estimate total time for completion to be approximately 7 minutes.
