Multi-cancer Early Detection
Conditions
Brief summary
To develop a new participant educational aid that can be used by participants to support informed decision-making about Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) tests, which are new blood-based screening tests.
Detailed description
To develop a prototype participant educational aid that can be used by participants to support informed decision making about MCED testing. The aims of the pilot project include the following: 1. Conduct focus groups to explore preferences and concerns about MCED testing among adults of screening age. 2. Based on salient themes from focus group discussion, develop and administer surveys to explore preferences and concerns about MCED testing among adults of screening age. 3. Using findings from the focus groups and surveys, develop prototype patient educational aids about MCED testing following a user-centered design strategy.
Interventions
Participants will participate in a focus group discussion asking about your knowledge, preferences, and concerns for MCEDs. During the focus group discussion, investigators will specifically talk about what the tests are and how to decide to get the test as well as their risks and benefits.
