Men report that managing clinical care is challenging because they are under\u2010informed about their cancer risks. As the demand for genetic testing has increased, so too has the need to relay accurate and relatable genetic health information. This research developed and assessed the acceptability and appropriateness of a psychoeducational graphic novel designed for men to improve their cancer risk knowledge, manage their cancer\u2010related uncertainty, and increase their intent to disclose their <jats:italic>BRCA1\/2<\/jats:italic> risks to family members and healthcare providers. Through purposive and snowball sampling, men (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920) and certified genetic counselors (CGCs; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200915) participated in semi\u2010structured interviews assessing the acceptability and appropriateness of the graphic novel. Interviews were audio\u2010recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. Both reported that the graphic novel confirmed risk information provided helpful resources, included relatable storylines, and had a unique visual appeal. Some men remained unsure about how to perform recommended screenings and how to talk to family members, particularly children, about <jats:italic>BRCA1\/2<\/jats:italic> test results after assessing the graphic novel. CGCs also discussed the helpfulness of the graphic novel for their practice. Given that this psychoeducational graphic novel was appealing to men and CGCs, it shows promise as an acceptable approach that may assist men in managing their cancer risks and communicating their genetic risk information to family members and healthcare providers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgc4.1954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T01:53:41Z","timestamp":1723082021000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Assessing the acceptability and appropriateness of a psychoeducational graphic novel about inherited cancer risk designed for men"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5193-9040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marleah","family":"Dean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"},{"name":"Health Outcomes and Behavior Program Moffitt Cancer Center  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josephine K.","family":"Boumis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lingzi","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication University of Minnesota Duluth  Duluth Minnesota USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexis","family":"Ingle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Florida Health Jacksonville  Jacksonville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gemme","family":"Campbell\u2010Salome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genomic Health Department of Population Health Sciences, Geisinger  Danville Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lindy Grief","family":"Davidson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Judy Genshaft Honors College University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Courtney L.","family":"Scherr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Studies Northwestern University  Chicago Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shana\u2010Kay","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deborah L.","family":"Cragun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Health University of South Florida  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/journalofethics.2018.20.2.ecas1-1802"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S1532785XMEP0303_03"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10810730.2011.635779"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12687-017-0316-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/004912418101000205"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0017896917725360"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10410236.2023.2248677"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1460-2466.2001.tb02892.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","first-page":"201","article-title":"A theory of communication and uncertainty management","volume":"1","author":"Brashers D.
