Parent and patient knowledge and attitudes about cancer predisposition syndrome genetic testing in pediatric oncology: Understanding sociodemographic and parent–child differences
Spanish-speaking parents and parents with lower socioeconomic statuses were more strongly influenced by the potential disadvantages of CPS-GT in CPS-GT decision-making. Parents felt more strongly than patients that parents should make CPS-GT decisions. Future studies should investigate mechanisms behind these differences and how to best support CPS-GT knowledge and decision-making.
