Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding how various factors influence perceived breast cancer risk among underserved Hispanic women, particularly those under and over 50.
- A survey of 1,325 women showed that most perceived their lifetime risk of breast cancer as low, with younger women (under 50) with a family history reporting higher risk perceptions.
- Results indicate that perceived risk varies by age, and prior mammography history may not significantly influence risk perceptions, highlighting the need for tailored screening strategies.
