Brief Summary

In order to better communicate personal risk of breast cancer to women who have not yet initiated breast cancer screening (mammography), The Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania has created a personal breast cancer screening decision aid tool. This tool will be pilot tested, and then implemented and tested in nine primary care and OB/GYN practices within the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

Detailed Description

In order to better communicate personal risk of breast cancer to women who have not yet initiated breast cancer screening (mammography), The Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania has created a personal breast cancer screening decision aid tool. This tool incorporates questions about a women's personal history of breast cancer and compares her to the average women her age in terms of breast cancer risk. The tool helps the women to understand the benefits and risks of breast cancer screening. This tool will be pilot tested using SSI to help develop the final version of the decision aid tool. The decision aid tool will then be implemented and tested in nine general internal medicine, family medicine, and OB/GYN practices within the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
