CATCH: Blueprint for a cancer genetic risk assessment tool for use in a diverse, underserved gynecology clinic population

Minority and underserved patients are less likely to receive genetic screening and services, thus missing the opportunity for genetically targeted cancer prevention and early detection. Electronic family history tools to aid detection of high-risk patients are costly to embed in clinical settings and inconvenient to use, requiring an average of 30 mins to complete with a 70% completion rate. We developed a low-cost, efficient screening tool for hereditary cancer risk assessment to pilot in a diverse Medicare/Medicaid gynecology clinic.
