Intuition versus cognition: a qualitative exploration of how women understand and manage their increased breast cancer risk.

Journal of behavioral medicine - 1 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

Risk comprehension in individuals at increased familial risk of cancer is suboptimal and little is known about how risk is understood and managed by at-risk individuals who do not undergo genetic testing. We qualitatively studied these issues in 36 unaffected women from high-risk breast cancer families, including both women who had and had not undergone genetic testing. Data were collected through semi-structured...
