Overview
This study evaluates patient and provider attitudes about environmental exposure risk assessments into clinical care for female patients at average or high risk for breast cancer and/or diagnosed with early onset breast cancer.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess patient interest and emotional responses toward EERA and return of results.
II. To assess provider attitudes toward EERA integration into clinical workflows.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 3 aims.
AIM I: Average and high risk breast cancer participants and early onset breast cancer patients complete a survey over 15-25 minutes and may attend an interview over 30-45 minutes. Participants' and patients' medical records are reviewed.
AIM II: COH providers complete a survey over 15-25 minutes and may attend an interview over 30-45 minutes.
AIM III: Average and high risk breast cancer participants complete a baseline survey over 15-25 minutes and wear Fresh Air Clip wristbands for 1 week. Participants then complete a follow up survey over 15-25 minutes and may attend an interview over 30-45 minutes. Participants' medical records are reviewed.
