Choices About Genetic Testing And Learning Your Risk with Smart Technology (CATALYST).
The study's objectives are to: 1) finalize the development and optimize usability of the CATALYST digital intervention (i.e., RA also known as relational assistant (RA)); 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a streamlined cancer genomic care delivery in cancer survivors. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms which are the RA intervention vs. enhanced usual care (EUC); and 3) Conduct a process evaluation to measure barriers/facilitators to GC, GT and use of the CATALYST intervention and engagement with the RA.

Inclusion Criteria: User/Usability Testing 1. Age 18 or older 2. Diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, endometrial or prostate cancer 3. Speak/read and understand English 4. Capable of providing informed consent 5. Have Internet access (via smartphone, tablet, or computer) Randomized Feasibility Trial 1. Age 18 or older 2. Diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, endometrial or prostate cancer 3. Meet National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria for germline GT 4. Speak/read and understand English 5. Capable of providing informed consent 6. Have Internet access (via smartphone, tablet or computer) Exclusion Criteria: Participants will be 18 years of age or older because germline genetic testing is generally not recommended in children when the test results would not impact clinical management. Participants from the user and usability testing phases are not eligible for the feasibility trial. Feasibility trial participants cannot have previously undergone germline GT for hereditary cancer risk.
