Behavioral and Psychological Impact of Returning Breast Density Results to Latinas

The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) s a 20-item self-report assessment. Items are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so), with the total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety symptoms. Anxiety was dichotomized as: normal (STAI score \< 30) or moderate to severe (STAI score ≥ 30). The primary outcome was the percentage of participants who maintained or decreased to 'normal' anxiety levels at T1 from T0.

Time frame: Change from baseline anxiety (T0) to T1: 2 weeks to 180 days after education end

Population: 516 Latina participants with complete follow-up over all three time points

Percentage of women who provided incorrect response at baseline (T0) but a correct response at 14 to 180 days after completion of education to the question: 'Women who have dense breasts are at greater risk for getting breast cancer' (true, false, or I don't know). Comparisons of the difference in percentage of women who provided correct response to the single question: 'Women who have dense breasts are at greater risk for getting breast cancer' (true, false, or I don't know) between intervention groups.

Time frame: T0 (baseline) to T1 (14 to 180 days after completion of education)

Percentage of women who provided an incorrect response as to whether dense breasts impact the ability of a mammogram to correctly detect cancer at T0 but provided a correct response at T1 Comparisons of the difference between the intervention groups in percentage of women who provided an incorrect response as to whether dense breasts impact the ability of a mammogram to correctly detect cancer at T0 but provided a correct response to the question at T1

Time frame: Baseline (T0) to first follow-up (T1, 2 weeks to 180 days from education end)

Population: 943 participants who completed baseline and first follow-up
