Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether or not informing women of their breast arterial calcification (BAC) results could potentially help with breast cancer screenings.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 40 who are scheduled for a mammogram at Mount Sinai's clinics, can read and speak English or Spanish, and are willing to sign consent forms. It excludes those with cognitive/psychiatric conditions affecting study compliance, pregnant women, or those with known heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if adding breast arterial calcification (BAC) information to post-mammography letters affects healthcare choices in women. It will measure BAC rates in a diverse group of participants and assess reactions to receiving BAC data.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves sharing information rather than medical interventions, there are no direct side effects from drugs or treatments. However, learning about one's BAC status could potentially cause anxiety or lead to further medical consultations.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Waitlist control groupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
944 participants will receive a post-mammography results letter without BAC information, which is the current standard of care. These patients will receive BAC information following study completion (approximately 6 months after mammography).
