Abstract B15: Communicating information about personalised genomic risk of melanoma to family, friends, and health professionals

Conclusions: Genomic risk information prompted conversations about melanoma risk and prevention, most frequently with family. When stratified by genomic risk, comparable numbers of participants discussed their genomic risk with family and friends, but communication with health professionals was more frequent among participants in a high-risk category.Citation Format: Anne E.
