Risk Perception for Breast Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand how women of color perceive their risk of developing breast cancer. Researchers seek to learn how these women view their current and future chances of getting breast cancer and what factors might influence their understanding. Participants will complete surveys and may join interviews to share their thoughts. Women who self-identify as female, are between 18 and 50 years old, and have never had breast cancer are a good fit for this study.
As an unphased study, this trial offers participants a unique opportunity to contribute to valuable research that could shape future breast cancer education and prevention strategies.
