Abstract

Georgia implemented a statewide family history screening program for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. From November 2012 through December 2020, 29 090 individuals were screened, 16 679 of whom (57.3%) self-identified as a racial/ethnic minority. Of the 4% (1172/29 090) of individuals who screened as high risk, more than half underwent genetic consultation (793/1172; 67.7%) and testing (416/589; 70.6%). Compared with White women, Black and Hispanic women had higher uptake rates of genetic consultation. Public health settings serving racial minorities are well suited to address disparities in genetic service access.
