Interventions to Increase Screening by Breast Cancer Survivors and Their High Risk Female Relatives
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer in Young Women, Breast Cancer in Women With a Strong Family History
In brief
The University of Michigan (UM) Schools of Nursing, Public Health, and Medicine, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and the Michigan Cancer Consortium (MCC) are conducting a multidisciplinary academic/practice three-year project to increase appropriate breast cancer screening for young breast cancer survivors and their cancer-free, female relatives at greatest risk for breast cancer. The aims of this project are to: 1) identify and survey 3000 breast cancer survivors reported to the Michigan Cancer Surveillance Program who were diagnosed between the ages of 20-45 years regarding their breast cancer screening utilization; 2) identify and survey the survivors' female relatives regarding their breast cancer screening utilization; and 3) implement two versions (targeted vs. enhanced tailored) of an evidence-based intervention recommended by the Guide to Community Preventive Services to increase breast cancer screening. A follow-up survey will assess the effectiveness of each intervention on a) breast cancer screening utilization; b) perceived barriers and facilitators to screening; c) self-efficacy in utilizing screening services; d) family support related to screening; e) knowledge of the genetics of breast cancer and personal risk factors; and f) satisfaction with the intervention.
