Researchers developed a web-based intervention to educate people with cancer about the impact genetic variants can have on their family. It includes education and decision support to help patients feel comfortable communicating genetic testing information to their relatives. The platform also allows patients to invite first- and second-degree relatives to the site. Relatives get information about genetic risk, tools to help them decide if they want to receive genetic testing and access to testing.

Under-triage, or assignment of a lower severity score than the level of care that was needed, was more likely for children who were Black, Hispanic, and those who preferred Spanish compared to English.
