A qualitative study of Black breast cancer previvors' and survivors' experiences after positive genetic testing.

Black women have a disproportionately high mortality rate from breast cancer, which is likely influenced by an intersection of environmental, cultural, economic, and social factors. Few published studies capture the experiences of Black women after a genetic diagnosis associated with increased risk for breast cancer. This study aims to explore the perspectives and experiences of Black women who carry a pathogenic variant associated with increased breast cancer risk and identify barriers to care for this population.
