Development and user testing of gene pilot: an electronic health decision support tool for Black cancer patients about tumor genomic profile testing

Abstract:

Tumor genomic profiling (TGP) is used to optimize cancer treatment but is underutilized by Black patients, despite having disproportionately higher cancer morbidity and mortality. No interventions using electronic health decision support tools (eHealth DSTs) have been developed to assist patients with understanding this test or address barriers to uptake and communicating preferences with a doctor.
