Key words: Cancer; Oncology; Genetic Testing; GPRI; Hereditary Cancer Syndromes; Portuguese; Psycho-oncology; Psychosocial Risk; Screening; Validation.

The analysis in the GPRI_syntax.R include:

• Missing data analysis
• Descriptive statistics;
• Confirmatory Factor Analysis;
• Reliability analysis
• Convergent validity;

The file also include the all packages and user-defined function used for the study.

The GPRI three-factor structure is confirmed. Two GPRI factors exhibited good internal consistency, but one factor (Personal/family history of/Loss to Cancer) showed problems in internal consistency, discriminant, and convergent validity.
