Method: A structured experimental design was used, including 300 female volunteers aged between 40-69, who had not previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, in Erzincan. Data collection entailed a face-to-face administration of a 22-item questionnaire complemented by the ASSISTS scale. Participants were randomized into two conditions: one receiving a standardized briefing on breast cancer screening modalities, and the other being apprised of their lifetime risk of breast cancer development based on the modified Gail model. Results: Post-intervention, 55.8% (n=72) of the risk-informed cohort and 40.5% (n=41) of the generic information cohort expressed a willingness to undergo screening (p=0.022). Notably, the group informed of their personalized risk exhibited aAmore pronounced uptick in requests for breast self-examination, clinical breast examination, and mammography screening compared to their counterparts. Conclusions: The communication of personalized breast cancer risk proves to be aAmore efficacious and time-efficient strategy than generic information dissemination in bolstering screening participation rates.DUZCE UNIV, FAC MEDICINE2024Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/16466https://doi.org/10.18521/ktd.14094751309-3878enKONURALP TIP DERGISIinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/16466
