Summary
This completed study tested a web-based decision aid called RealRisks in 70 high-risk women aged 35-74. The tool combines electronic health records and patient-reported data to calculate breast cancer risk and improve understanding of prevention options. Researchers measured whether the tool helped women accurately perceive their risk and become more engaged in their health decisions.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help high-risk women better understand their breast cancer risk and make informed prevention choices.
