ClinConnect Summary

The "Understanding and Addressing Rejection of Personalized Breast Cancer Risk Information" study is looking into why some women might not want to receive personalized information about their risk of breast cancer, especially in relation to mammogram screenings. This research is important because it aims to help improve how we communicate cancer risk to women, enabling them to make better-informed decisions about their health.

To participate in this study, you must be a woman aged between 39 and 49 who can read and understand English. However, if you have had breast cancer before, certain types of non-invasive breast cancer, or specific genetic conditions, you won't be eligible to join. If you take part, you will help researchers learn more about the challenges women face when it comes to understanding their breast cancer risk, which could lead to better support and resources for others in the future.
