Behavioral and Psychological Impact of Returning Breast Density Results to Latinas

Primary outcomes

1. Knowledge of Breast Density as a Masking Factor at First Follow-up

   Time frame: Baseline (T0) to first follow-up (T1, 2 weeks to 180 days from education end)

   Percentage of women who provided an incorrect response as to whether dense breasts impact the ability of a mammogram to correctly detect cancer at T0 but provided a correct response at T1

   Comparisons of the difference between the intervention groups in percentage of women who provided an incorrect response as to whether dense breasts impact the ability of a mammogram to correctly detect cancer at T0 but provided a correct response to the question at T1

2. Anxiety Short Term (Baseline T0 to First Follow-up T1)

   Time frame: Change from baseline anxiety (T0) to T1: 2 weeks to 180 days after education end

   The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) s a 20-item self-report assessment. Items are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so), with the total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety symptoms. Anxiety was dichotomized as: normal (STAI score < 30) or moderate to severe (STAI score ≥ 30). The primary outcome was the percentage of participants who maintained or decreased to 'normal' anxiety levels at T1 from T0.

3. BC Risk Assessment - Survey

   Time frame: T0 (baseline) to T1 (14 to 180 days after completion of education)

   Percentage of women who provided incorrect response at baseline (T0) but a correct response at 14 to 180 days after completion of education to the question: 'Women who have dense breasts are at greater risk for getting breast cancer' (true, false, or I don't know).

   Comparisons of the difference in percentage of women who provided correct response to the single question: 'Women who have dense breasts are at greater risk for getting breast cancer' (true, false, or I don't know) between intervention groups.
