“…Based upon findings of the present and related studies in which we observed uneven interpretation quality during genetic counseling (Cheng et al, 2018;Joseph et al, 2017;Kamara et al, 2018), we developed a training workshop to provide interpreters with an overview of the key concepts in genetics in general, and cancer genetics and genetic counseling specifically; it includes bilingual glossaries, vocabulary exercises and role plays (Roat et al, 2015). Furthermore, to improve interpreter and patient comprehension, we developed a training curriculum to teach GCs how they can use plain language (Stableford & Mettger, 2007), reduce the overall quantity of information they provide, and give interpreters explicit permission to ask for clarification (Joseph, Pasick, Schillinger, Guerra, & Rubin, 2018).…”
