Schema used to develop and evaluate the Families SHARE workbook. The Families SHARE workbook was developed and evaluated within a four step process. In the first step, we developed the family health history based risk algorithm based on a systematic review of the literature. Step 2 involved identification of key workbook components using concepts from the Health Belief Model; these components were integrated into the workbook design in Step 3. A rigorous evaluation was completed in Step 4. The evaluation was conducted in two Phases such that the workbook was revised based on recommendations from Phase 1 and re-evaluated in Phase 2
