Exploring engagement and uptake of a comprehensive family history-based cancer risk assessment tool

It is challenging to identify individuals at risk of a hereditary cancer syndrome as it requires assessment of both personal and family health history, the latter of which may not be routinely collected and/or updated by healthcare providers. A possible solution is to use a patient-facing computer platform that electronically collects family health history (FHH) information for hereditary cancer syndromes and other health conditions. This could improve genomic healthcare by identifying at-risk individuals in a health system.
