OUTLINE: This is a randomized study.
Participants are approached to complete a baseline survey while they are waiting for their clinic visits.
Baseline surveys measure breast cancer risk factors, current breast cancer screening practices, intentions to screen, risk perceptions, breast cancer worry, coping mechanisms, and discussion of breast cancer with relatives.
After completion of the baseline surveys, participants are then randomized to 1 of 2 education arms.
These messages include screening and lifestyle recommendations, information on the seriousness of breast cancer, instructions on how to arrange a mammography appointment, and contact information for genetic and psychosocial counseling.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 900 participants will be accrued for this study.
