"I haven't had that information, even though I think I'm really well-informed about most things": a qualitative focus group study on Australian women's understanding and views of potentially modifiable risk factors for breast cancer.

Background: Building health literacy about potentially modifiable risk factors for breast cancer may help to empower women to make more informed decisions about their breast health; however there has been limited qualitative research on this topic. This study aimed to explore current knowledge, understanding and experience of potentially modifiable risk factors for breast cancer, and views on current and future communication strategies for this information and related interventions.

Methods: Qualitative study using online focus groups via Zoom in October-November 2022.

Factors associated with women's supplemental screening intentions following dense breast notification in an online randomised experimental study.

Controversy surrounding recommendations for supplemental screening (ultrasound and magnetic resonance screening) in women with dense breasts exists, as the long-term benefits from these additional modalities may not outweigh the harms. This study aimed to examine factors associated with supplemental screening intentions following a hypothetical breast density notification in a population of women who have not been routinely notified. Australian women of breast screening age participated in an online randomised experimental study where they were presented with one of two breast density notifications (with or without health literacy-sensitive information) and asked their screening intentions.

Australian General Practitioners' Current Knowledge, Understanding, and Feelings Regarding Breast Density Information and Notification: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: There is a lack of evidence around Australian general practitioners' (GPs) views of issues surrounding breast density. The current study aimed to quantitatively assess GPs' current knowledge, understanding, and feelings around breast density information and notification.

Methods: This study involved a cross-sectional survey using an online platform to collect quantitative data from Australian GPs.

A systematic assessment of online international breast density information.

Background: Breast density has become a topic of international discussion due to its associated risk of breast cancer. As online is often a primary source of women's health information it is therefore essential that breast density information it is understandable, accurate and reflects the best available evidence. This study aimed to systematically assess online international breast density information including recommendations to women.

Australian Women's Intentions and Psychological Outcomes Related to Breast Density Notification and Information: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Whether the benefits of notifying women about breast density outweigh the potential harms to inform current and future mammogram screening practice remains unknown.

Objective: To assess the effect of mammographic breast density notification and information provision on women's intention to seek supplemental screening and psychological outcomes.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A 3-arm online randomized clinical trial was conducted from August 10 to 31, 2021.

"It's about our bodies… we have the right to know this stuff": A qualitative focus group study on Australian women's perspectives on breast density.

Objective: This study aimed to explore Australian women's current knowledge, perspectives and attitudes about breast density (BD); and information needs to inform effective evidence-based communication strategies.

Methods: Fourteen online focus group sessions with a total of 78 women in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia aged 40-74 years without a personal diagnosis of breast cancer were conducted. Audio-recorded data was transcribed and analysed thematically.
