| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assess the value of presenting patients an educational video regarding the benefits risks, and limitations of genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk. | Day 1 | Determine proof-of concept by the results of a patient survey to assess the effect that the video has on decisional conflict. The survey administered post intervention uses a modified decisional conflict scale in a pre then post format. This is a 5 point Likert scale where 1 equals no, 2= probably no, 3= unsure, 4= probably yes, and 5=yes. This format asks participants to imagine their thoughts on the subject before having watched the video, then to clarify their thoughts on the same subjects now that they have watched the video. |
