Organizational readiness to implement population-based screening and genetic service delivery for hereditary cancer prevention and control.
Programs conducting population-based screening and genetic service delivery for hereditary cancer prevention and control are rare in practice. The authors interviewed individuals instrumental in implementing seven unique clinical programs conducting either universal tumor screening for Lynch Syndrome or routine family history screening and provision of genetic services for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in the United States. Their findings suggest that developing interventions targeting change efficacy and cultivating practice change champions may be two promising ways to increase uptake of population-based hereditary cancer screening and genetic service delivery in clinical practice.
