• This review describes the characteristics of available educational tools used for BRCA1/2 genetic testing. To identify the tools, we conducted a systematic search in electronic databases, and contacted over 1000 cancer genetics professionals. This review is based on 68 tools from the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, France and Ireland. The tools vary in format and scope depending on the genetic testing phase for which they are intended. We found that a wide diversity of educational materials are available and used for BRCA1/2 genetic testing around the world. However, a substantial number of tools fail to address important aspects of genetic testing.
