Overall, 62% of eligible women enrolled onto the study and 50% of enrollees completed genetic counseling. Women with a stronger family history of cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 3.18; 95% CI, 1.36 to 7.44; P = .01) and those referred from oncology clinics and community oncology resources (OR = 2.97; 95% CI, 1.34 to 6.58; P = .01) were most likely to enroll onto the study. Referral from oncology clinics was associated significantly with participation in genetic counseling (OR = 5.46; 95% CI, 1.44 to 20.60; P = .01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite receiving a large number of referrals, only a small subset of women were eligible for enrollment. Oncology settings were the most effective at identifying eligible African American women and general medical practices were the least effective. Factors associated with enrollment included having a stronger family history of cancer and being referred from oncology clinics and community oncology resources. Referral from oncology clinics was the only factor associated significantly with participation in genetic counseling. Education about hereditary breast cancer may be needed among primary care providers to enhance appropriate referral of African American women to genetic counseling for BRCA1\/2 mutations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2004.00.4952","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,28]],"date-time":"2005-10-28T17:02:36Z","timestamp":1130518956000},"page":"7967-7973","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Recruiting African American Women to Participate in Hereditary Breast Cancer Research"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Chanita Hughes","family":"Halbert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiyona","family":"Brewster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aliya","family":"Collier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ChaChira","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Kessler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benita","family":"Weathers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jill E.","family":"Stopfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Domchek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Abramson Cancer Center, Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
