Overview
Brief Summary
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
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
Percentage of Participants Who Reported Discussion of Mammography Screening
Time Frame: up to 14 months
Self reported discussion of mammography with physician.
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.
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.
