ClinConnect Summary

The "Genomic Medicine Risk Assessment Care for Everyone" (GRACE) trial is focused on improving health care for people at risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, liver diseases, and other conditions, especially in areas with fewer resources. The goal is to create a system that helps doctors assess genetic risks and provide better care to their patients. By involving patients, their family members, and healthcare providers, the trial aims to make genomic medicine more accessible and effective for everyone.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old, receiving care at one of the five participating clinics, and comfortable using the Internet in English. If you join, you will fill out a survey about your health and family history, and you may receive genetic testing based on your risk assessment results. Your healthcare provider will also be involved, receiving updates about your risk assessment. This study aims to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes for individuals and families by tailoring the program to fit different needs and resources.
