Abstract:
Cancer genetic services are underutilized by high-risk clients in community-based health settings. To understand this disparity, 108 Planned Parenthood high-risk clients completed a utilization-focused survey. Clients expressed interest (78.8%) and intention (75.0%) in seeking genetic services. Personal/familial implications for cancer risk were the strongest motivators for seeking services (63.0-79.6%). Finances (39.6%) and worry (37.0%) were the biggest barriers. To reduce disparities in access to cancer genetics services, clinicians must understand clients' concerns and tailor their recommendations.
