Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perception of risk | Baseline (at enrollment) | Measured using a 0-100% response (percent lifetime risk) and a 5-point verbal scale ranging from 'very low' to 'very high' (ordinal lifetime risk). Participants will also be asked to assess their risk compared to women their age with the response options of 'much lower', 'about the same', and 'much higher' (comparative risk likelihood). |
