Initial Testing of a Behavioral Intervention About Genetic Services for Families at Risk of Lynch Syndrome (NCT07106359)
A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial of a Behavioral Intervention to Increase Uptake of Genetic Services Among Relatives at Risk of Lynch Syndrome
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of the study is to see if our education materials help people at risk for Lynch syndrome decide about seeking genetic services.
