Article Title: What women with breast cancer discuss with clinicians about risk for their adolescent daughters
Abstract: Recorded conversations between women undergoing BRCA genetic counseling with clinicians (N = 16) and follow-up consultation letters (N = 16) were analyzed to determine how and when communicating genetic risk information to women's adolescent daughters is discussed. Themes from conversations included mothers worries about their daughters, perceptions of their daughters coping, educational information, and clinicians willingness or reluctance to communicate directly with daughters about their genetic risk. Letters referred to daughters when informing mothers about autosomal dominant inheritance patterns, psychosocial considerations, and screening recommendations. Results inform the value of educating mothers about how they might discuss these issues with their adolescent daughters. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
