Families often bear the burden of communication about cancer risk, as well as support during and after treatment for cancer in family members. These activities are left up to survivors and their families, with little support or knowledge of useful methods. We present data on aspects of family that are most relevant to risk of cancer-related communication and health promotion among family members. Families (a survivor, one first-degree relative and one parent; n = 313 families) were enrolled in the survey-based study. We assessed multiple aspects of family communication about risk for melanoma among family participants. Families communicate less frequently than desired about cancer risk. Most families do identify a "family health provider" who keeps family data and serves a resource for family members. The reasons given for lack of family communication are diverse but many can be addressed as part of a family communication intervention. Families are poised to improve their family communication about cancer risk and so can play a role in increasing the health of their members.

家庭通常承担有关癌症风险的沟通负担,以及家庭成员在癌症治疗期间和之后的支持。这些活动由幸存者及其家人决定,很少支持或了解有用的方法。我们提供了与家庭成员之间与癌症相关的交流和健康促进风险最相关的家庭方面的数据。家庭 (一名幸存者,一名一级亲属和一名父母; N = 313个家庭) 被纳入了基于调查的研究。我们评估了家庭参与者中关于黑色素瘤风险的家庭沟通的多个方面。家庭就癌症风险进行交流的频率低于预期。大多数家庭确实确定了一个 “家庭保健提供者”,该提供者保存家庭数据并为家庭成员提供资源。缺乏家庭沟通的原因多种多样,但许多原因可以作为家庭沟通干预的一部分来解决。家庭准备改善他们关于癌症风险的家庭沟通,因此可以在增加成员的健康方面发挥作用。
