About this trial
The goal of this study is to test bundled familial cancer risk assessment + multicancer (colorectal + breast) vs. single (breast) cancer navigation, using a wait list control for colorectal cancer screening referral and navigation. Among those eligible, this study will test usual care referral to genetic services vs. pretest education + usual care referral. The study also will assess how bundled multicancer navigation works and for whom it is most effective through a multisite, mixed-methods patient- and organization-level process evaluation.

Treatments tested in this trial
Breast cancer screening navigation
BehavioralSingle cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast cancer only: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.
Multicancer screening navigation
BehavioralMulti-cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast and colorectal cancers: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.
Usual care genetics referral
BehavioralReferral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.
Pretest education + usual care genetics referral
BehavioralPrint education regarding the genetic counseling and testing process and specific tips to support at-home testing. Referral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Receipt of colorectal cancer screening
Colorectal cancer screening will be determined through electronic health records abstraction. Documentation of screening includes the test (FIT, colonoscopy), date, clinical indication, assessment or result (imaging, pathology) and recommendations and procedures as applicable, following to treatment initiation.
Receipt of breast cancer screening
Breast cancer screening (mammography, tomosynthesis, MRI, breast ultrasound, breast biopsy) will be determined through electronic health records abstraction. Documentation of screening includes the test, date, clinical indication, assessment or result (imaging, pathology) and recommendations and procedures as applicable, following to treatment initiation.
Other outcomes
Receipt of genetic testing
Receipt of genetic testing as well as posttest genetic counseling within 6 months of randomization; documentation of test, test result, date, will be drawn from electronic health records
Receipt of genetic counseling
Documented attendance/date of pretest genetic counseling appointment within 6 months of randomization
