Abstract
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the impact of individualized breast cancer risk counseling on mammography use among women at risk for breast cancer. METHODS:Participants (n = 508) were randomized to the breast cancer risk counseling intervention or a general health education control intervention, and 85% completed follow-up. RESULTS: In multivariate modeling, a significant group-by-education interaction demonstrated that among less-educated participants, breast cancer risk counseling led to reduced mammography use. There was no intervention effect among the more-educated participants. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that standard breast cancer risk counseling could have an adverse impact on the health behaviors of less-educated women.
