Notes: The revised truth table was created using fsQCA 2.0 software by adding a fourth condition to the original truth table, assigning outcome scores for each configuration, and deleting configurations with no cases (remainders).

a

Each row represents a configuration of conditions. Although there are 24 (16) possible configurations, only those configurations for which there are cases are shown.

b

Genetics professional discloses positive screening results (presence=1, absence=0)

c

Referral is primary mechanism for patient to receive genetic testing (presence=1, absence=0)

d

Genetic professional contacts patient directly to set up counseling and testing (presence=1, absence=0)

e

Difficulty contacting patients after a positive tumor screen (presence=1, absence=0)

f

The consistency scores for rows A-B are 1 because all cases with these configurations have high patient follow-through (High-PF=1).

g

The consistency scores for rows C-F are 0 because none of the cases in those configurations have high patient follow-through (High-PF=0)
