Kindred: A Web Program About Genetic Cancer Risk for African American Families
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a website called Kindred that helps African American families understand genetic cancer risk and genetic testing. You would help researchers learn if this tool helps families talk about and understand hereditary cancer risks like BRCA mutations and Lynch Syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
