Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed observational study registered to examine how personalized risk feedback and family-centered communication approaches influence health risk perceptions and disease prevention behaviors among Mexican-American families. No results are posted in this registry record, so no conclusions about effectiveness or outcome can be drawn.

This study was designed to inform risk communication strategies for Mexican-American communities but results are not yet posted in this registry record. Clinicians and public health professionals working with Mexican-American populations should await publication of results to understand whether family-centered or personalized feedback approaches improve disease prevention engagement.
This is a completed observational registry study with no results reported; it examined communication processes and mediators in a family-based intervention, but the registry record contains no outcome data.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00469339). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 498 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Colon Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Family Health History. Primary outcome measures: Understand how culture and the familial social system facilitate or impede communications regarding family health history and risk for disease, and the development of strategies to adopt health promoting behaviors. , one survey and two telephone interviews; Investigate whether the type of personalized risk feedback (predisposing or predisposing plus enabling) affects family members beliefs about the causes and controllability of disease onset and perceived risk for disease. , one survey and two telephone interviews; Investigate whether shared perceptions of risk and beliefs about disease mediates the relationship between communications about family risk and the development of cooperative strategies to adopt health promoting behaviors within the family. , one survey and two telephone interviews; Examine whether a family-centered feedback approach, as compared to an individual-focused approach, encourages communications regarding family risk and the development of strategies to adopt health promoting behaviors within the household. , one survey and two telephone interviews. Brief summary: This study will examine what methods work best for encouraging Mexican-American family members to talk about their risk for diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and colon cancer. Within the Mexican-American community, the family culture provides an important setting in which individuals interpret and share their health information and formulate strategies to engage in health-promoting behaviors. The information from the study will be used to design risk communication approaches for Mexican-American households. Members of households with at least three adults 18 to 70 years of age who are part of the existing Mexican-American households recruited by the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center may be eligible for this study. Participants are interviewed about their medical history, family history of disease, health behaviors, beliefs about disease and disease risk, experiences living in the United States, and relationships with family members and close friends. They are then provided information about their family risk for diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and colon cancer, based on the information they provided in the interview. Two additional interviews are conducted over the telephone that include questions about how the participants communicate with family members about their risk and health behaviors. ...
