PURPOSE: To estimate the effects of a tablet-based, @entity0 risk education intervention for use in primary care settings (BreastCARE) on @entity1 ' @entity0 knowledge, risk perception and concern. METHODS: From June 2011-August 2012, we enrolled @entity1 from two clinics, aged 40-74 years with no personal @entity0 history, and randomized them to the BreastCARE intervention group or to the control group. All @entity1 completed a baseline telephone survey and risk assessment (via telephone for controls, via tablet computer in clinic waiting room prior to visit for intervention). All @entity1 were categorized as high or average risk based on the Referral Screening Tool, the Gail model or the @entity0 Surveillance Consortium model. Intervention @entity1 and their physicians received an individualized risk report to discuss during the visit. All @entity1 completed a follow-up telephone survey 1-2 weeks after risk assessment. Post-test comparisons estimated differences at follow-up in @entity0 knowledge, risk perception and concern. RESULTS: 580 intervention and 655 control @entity1 completed follow-up interviews. Mean age was 56 years (SD = 9). At follow-up, 73% of controls and 71% of intervention @entity1 correctly perceived their @entity0 risk and 22% of controls and 24% of intervention @entity1 were very concerned about @entity0 . Intervention @entity1 had greater knowledge (>= 75% correct answers) of @entity0 risk factors at follow-up (24% vs. 16%; p = 0.002). In multivariable analysis, there were no differences in correct risk perception or concern, but intervention @entity1 had greater knowledge ([OR] = 1.62; 95% [CI] = 1.19-2.23). CONCLUSIONS: A simple, practical intervention involving physicians at the point of care can improve knowledge of @entity0 without increasing concern. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01830933.

Impact of a primary care based intervention on XXXX knowledge, risk perception and concern: A randomized, controlled trial.
