Evaluating an Evidence-Based Family History Screening Program Adapted to Increase Reach and Uptake of Screening for BRCA-Associated Cancers in Rural Public Health Clinics

Testing a program to improve BRCA cancer screening in rural clinics.

25 years and older
Female
Phase N/A

This study looks at how well a family history screening program called GA CORE works to help women in rural Georgia get screened for BRCA-associated cancers. BRCA-associated cancers are types of cancer linked to changes in the BRCA genes. These genes help repair DNA, so when they change, it can increase cancer risk. The study will test a program to see if more women can benefit from family history screening and follow-up services like genetic counseling and testing. Participants in the study may attend meetings, interviews, or surveys for up to 14 months. Some clinics will use the standard GA CORE process, while others will try a new, adapted process that includes community outreach and follow-ups. Women aged 25 and older who have been seen at the participating clinics may join the study.

  • Participation may last up to 14 months with monthly meetings.
  • Some clinics will try new ways to improve screening and follow-ups.
  • Women aged 25+ who have visited participating clinics can join.
