It is recommended that cancer survivors at increased risk for heredity seek cancer genetic risk assessment (CGRA), which includes cancer genetic counseling and genetic testing. A Tailored Counseling and Navigation (TCN) intervention successfully increased CGRA uptake among women with a history of cancer who enrolled in a randomized controlled trial. Understanding reasons for TCN's effectiveness can guide future interventions that use risk messages and behavior change techniques. We conducted mediation analyses, which enabled identification of the TCN's active components. Eligible breast and ovarian cancer survivors (n = 641) were recruited from three statewide cancer registries and were assigned to three groups: TCN, Targeted Print, and Usual Care. Mediator variables drawn from behavioral and risk communication theories were assessed at baseline and 1-month follow-up; CGRA uptake was assessed at 6 months. The strongest mediator was intention to obtain a CGRA, followed by self-efficacy, perceived risk, knowledge of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, and perceived CGRA benefits. Risk communication and behavioral change interventions for hereditary cancer should stress a person's increased genetic risk and the potential benefits of genetic counseling and testing, as well as bolster efficacy beliefs by helping remove CGRA barriers. System-level and policy interventions are needed to further expand access.
