Rubinsak LA, et al. - Women presenting for routine gynecologic care in an outpatient setting of a single academic institution were recruited in this study and reviewed by the experts in order to assess awareness and acceptability of population-based BRCA testing among an unselected population of women presenting for annual gynecologic health evaluation and to discover if a racial disparity existed in acceptability and awareness of this screening strategy. Out of 301 participants, interest in testing was shown in 150. Women with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer were more likely to be interested in testing vs those without. Interest in testing was correlated willingness to pay. Higher education level was related to awareness of testing. Interest in testing was alike among racial groups, however, awareness and willingness to pay for testing were higher in White women. Black and Hispanic women were less prone to have awareness of genetic testing in comparison to White women and non-Hispanic Women, respectively. Hence, among women in the general population, interest in genetic testing was high. Moreover, awareness of BRCA was poor among Black and Hispanic women even when adjusting for education level, regardless of the interest.
