Georgia implemented a statewide family history screening program for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. From November 2012 through December 2020, 29 090 individuals were screened, 16 679 of whom (57.3%) self-identified as a racial/ethnic minority. Of the 4% (1172/29 090) of individuals who screened as high risk, more than half underwent genetic consultation (793/1172; 67.7%) and testing (416/589; 70.6%). Compared with White women, Black and Hispanic women had higher uptake rates of genetic consultation. Public health settings serving racial minorities are well suited to address disparities in genetic service access. (. 2022;112(9):1249-1252. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306932).
佐治亚州实施了一项全州范围内的遗传性乳腺癌和卵巢癌家族史筛查计划。从 2012 年 11 月至 2020 年 12 月，共有 29090 人接受了筛查，其中 16679 人（57.3%）自我认定为少数族裔。在筛查为高风险的 4%（1172/29090）的人群中，超过一半接受了遗传咨询（793/1172；67.7%）和检测（416/589；70.6%）。与白人女性相比，黑人和西班牙裔女性接受遗传咨询的比例更高。为少数族裔服务的公共卫生机构非常适合解决遗传服务获取方面的差异。（2022 年；112（9）：1249-1252。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306932）。
