counseling intervention
Women in the intervention group will be offered breast cancer risk assessment at baseline. Computerized risk assessment is followed by personalized risk tailored health messages. The health messages will also include appropriate recommendations for genetic and psychosocial counseling. Baseline measurements from a questionnaire given prior to the intervention will capture current breast cancer screening practices (mammography, clinical breast exam and self exam), intentions to get mammograms, family discussion of breast cancer, risk perceptions, and breast cancer worry. Important demographic variables and breast cancer risk factors will also be measured. Participants will receive follow up telephone interviews at 1, 6, and 18 months to assess mammography use.
