Community Genetic Navigation Engagement Specialists to Increase Knowledge About Colorectal Cancer Genetics in Hispanic/Latino/a Communities (NCT07276048)

Community Genetic Navigation Engagement Specialists (CoGENES) Training Program

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Southern California

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial tests how well an educational program for training Hispanic/Latino/a (H/L) community members regarding colorectal cancer genetics works to increase knowledge about genetic and genomic testing. H/L populations are underrepresented in colorectal cancer tumor and genetics studies due to lack of access of patients in clinical genetic testing, very low participation in clinical trials, lack of knowledge about cancer genetics and genomics, and lack of culturally sensitive materials for patient engagement in cancer genetics and genomic research. The community genetic navigation engagement specialist training program may increase knowledge regarding colorectal cancer genetics in H/L communities.
