Section: Purpose of Research
Subsections: Key Information About This Study:

The purpose of this study is to see if a family health history software tool (MeTree) is helpful in telling you and your doctor(s) about risks for future health conditions. The tool will ask you information about you and your immediate family, and the tool will give you a report with recommendations based on this information. MeTree checks your risk for breast, colon, ovarian, and hereditary cancers (cancers that run in families), heart disease, and several other conditions (see the full list in location on Appendix A). Based on your risk, MeTree gives information to you and your doctors on how to improve your future health care and lower your risk for these conditions.
