This study aimed to develop and pilot a decision aid specifically designed for men with a strong family history of breast and\/or ovarian cancer who are considering genetic testing. The decision aid was developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts and a consumer representative. It was then reviewed by 27 men who had previously undergone genetic testing to identify a mutation in a\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">BRCA1<\/jats:italic>\n                    or\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">BRCA2<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene. All men who reviewed the decision aid indicated that they would recommend the booklet to other men in the same situation, and 96% of the sample (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200926) reported being \u201cvery satisfied\u201d or \u201csatisfied\u201d with the information contained in the decision aid. The decision aid was perceived by all participants as \u201cvery relevant\u201d or \u201cquite relevant\u201d for men considering genetic testing. Ninety-three percent of men felt that it was easy to weigh the pros and cons of genetic testing with the help of the decision aid. The perceived impact on participants' emotions and understanding of the genetic testing process was also assessed. Several factors may hinder men from effectively weighing up the potential benefits and risks of genetic testing. A greater understanding of these issues may help health professionals to encourage men with a strong family history of breast and\/or ovarian cancer to learn about cancer risk and the appropriate management strategies for themselves and their female relatives.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/gte.2008.0035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,15]],"date-time":"2008-12-15T09:06:08Z","timestamp":1229331968000},"page":"523-532","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Development and Pilot Testing of a Decision Aid for Men Considering Genetic Testing for Breast and\/or Ovarian Cancer\u2013Related Mutations (\n                    <i>BRCA1\/2<\/i>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Anne S.","family":"Juan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New South Wales","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"Prince of Wales Hospital","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire E.","family":"Wakefield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince of Wales Hospital","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"University of New South Wales","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadine A.","family":"Kasparian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince of Wales Hospital","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"University of New South Wales","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Judy","family":"Kirk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Familial Cancer Service, Westmead Hospital, Westmead, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Tyler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince of Wales Hospital","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathy","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince of Wales Hospital","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"University of New South Wales","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,15]]},"container-title":["Genetic Testing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/gte.2008.0035","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/gte.2008.0035","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:21:15Z","timestamp":1777447275000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/gte.2008.0035"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/gte.2008.0035"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/gte.2008.0035","relation":{},"ISSN":["1090-6576","1557-7473"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1090-6576","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-7473","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]}}}
