Breast Cancer Risk Reduction: A Patient Doctor Intervention

The proposed research combines the scientific advances in breast cancer research with health information technology (IT) to design a personalized intervention that assesses breast cancer risk for women, disseminates important breast health information, and facilitates discussion of breast cancer risk reduction practices. Our goal is to implement a tablet-PC (personal computer) based breast cancer risk education (BreastCare) intervention in the primary care setting that estimates a woman's individual risk for breast cancer and provides her and her physician with personalized breast cancer risk information and recommendations for action.

Treatment and study plan

Physician Report. At the time of an individual participant's visit to her primary care physician and her completion of the assessment tool, her physician will receive a physician report. The physician report is designed to facilitate communication about breast cancer risk during the primary care visit and to provide tailored risk reduction recommendations.

Primary outcomes

  1. Knowledge of Breast Cancer Risk Factors

    Time frame: one week post-initial visit (approximately one week)

    Risk knowledge was assessed using a post-survey. Participants could have scored 0-100 (with 0 meaning no correct answers, and 100 is all correct answers). This outcome was measured through a survey. Breast cancer risk knowledge was based on a series of eight questions in the survey. O

  2. Percentage of Participants With Correct Perception of Risk

    Time frame: baseline, one week post-initial visit (approximately one week)

    This outcome was measured through a survey. Women were asked what they thought about their risk of getting breast cancer was compared to other women of the same age.

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Had a Discussion of Breast Cancer Risk

    Time frame: one week post-initial visit (approximately one week)

    Self-reported discussion of breast cancer risk with physicians.

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Reported Discussion of Mammography Screening

    Time frame: up to 14 months

    Self reported discussion of mammography with physician.
