The present study assessed how preventive medical information about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer is spread within the family before actual genetic test results. Forty-two women (19 had a breast or ovarian tumor and 23 did not) were asked to fill out a questionnaire about: (1) the spread within the family of the medical information received during the consultation; and (2) the reasons for sharing this information. Results indicate that all of the women socially shared medical information with an immediate family member for preventive purposes, and generally not for seeking emotional or informative social support.
本研究评估了在实际遗传检测结果之前，预防性的遗传性乳腺癌和卵巢癌医学信息是如何在家庭内部传播的。42 名女性（19 名患有乳腺或卵巢肿瘤，23 名没有）被要求填写一份问卷，内容涉及：（1）在咨询过程中收到的医学信息在家庭内部的传播情况；（2）分享这些信息的原因。结果表明，所有女性出于预防目的，都会将医学信息与直系亲属进行社交分享，通常不是为了寻求情感或信息性的社会支持。
