Environmental Exposure Assessment in High-Risk and Early-Onset Breast Cancer Care

Precision Prevention: Environmental Exposure Assessment in High-Risk and Early-Onset Breast Cancer Care

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.

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.
