Summary

This trial is testing a new way to record family history information that includes an app to improve use by family physicians and patients. The goal is to reduce cancer deaths and chronic disease burden.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 30-69 who are patients of staff physicians with an email registered in the OCEAN system. It's not suitable for pregnant individuals or those under the care of resident physicians.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new app-based approach to recording family health history (FHAMe Intervention) to improve its use by family doctors and patients, aiming to enhance decision-making and increase appropriate referrals for high-risk conditions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using an app and improving communication rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience increased anxiety or concern from learning about their potential genetic risks.
