Study Overview
Brief Summary
A randomised controlled trial in which women discharged from the symptomatic breast clinic, who are above population risk (according to Tyrer Cuzick) will be asked to create lifestyle related goals. They will be told their estimated risk of developing breast cancer and will be randomised to one of three interventions:
- Breast cancer risk leaflet only
- lifestyle website
- lifestyle website plus group coaching.
Fifty per cent of women will also be randomised to have Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) performed, and these will be incorporated into their risk score.
The primary end point will be whether or not women achieve their lifestyle goal.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Goal achievement
Time Frame: Women will be asked this 12 months after entering the study
Whether women have achieved their lifestyle goals. Proportion answering "yes" to a binary question: Did you achieve the goal you set? Compared between the three arms.
Secondary Outcomes
- To assess the acceptability of randomisation to different arms of intervention(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study, estimated 15 months from start date)
- To assess the impact of SNP testing on changes in behavioural risk factors(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To assess the impact of the different interventions on changes in behavioural risk factors(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To identify whether there is an association between initial Cancer Worry Scale (Revised) score and change in behavioural risk factors(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To assess the acceptability of women to find out their personalised breast cancer risk and to commit to making a change in a modifiable risk factor(Measured when recruitment is complete, estimated at 3 months from start date)
- To assess the impact of knowledge of breast cancer risk on cancer anxiety scores(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To identify whether commitment to a study of this design is sustainable and affected by study group(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To assess the impact of the different interventions on uptake and adherence to chemoprevention at 1 year(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
- To consider the scalability of each element of the pilot study(Measured when the final participant has completed 12 months in the study estimated 15 months from start date)
