Groups 2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Point of Care | Clinics in the point of care (POC) arm approached patients at the time they came in to the clinic for a routine visit with their primary care provider. The familial cancer risk screening was completed using electronic tablets in the waiting room or, in the case of a telehealth visit, through telephone contact before the visit. Patients identified as likely to benefit based on their risk profile, were offered genetic testing for a panel of hereditary cancers. | 757 | 51,693 | OG000 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Group 2 | Direct Patient Engagement | Clinics in the direct patient engagement (DPE) arm contacted patients by postal mail and email to provide a link to the online familial cancer risk screening tool. This occurred one to three months after the patient had a routine visit with their primary care provider. Patients identified as likely to benefit based on their risk profile, were offered genetic testing for a panel of hereditary cancers. | 717 | 43,930 | OG001 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
