Peshkin and colleagues developed and tested the Pediatric BRCA1/2 Testing Attitudes Scale (P-TAS) to assess parental attitudes about and interest in testing their minor children for BRCA 1/2 mutations, which have been linked to breast and/or ovarian cancer risk. Item development was based on literature review and the research and counseling experiences of the authors. This 11-item instrument may be integrated into genetic counseling research or used to identify subgroups of parents who are highly motivated to have their children tested.
