NCT ID NCT05838417

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at how women ages 39-49 make decisions about breast cancer screening. Participants read a decision aid explaining the pros and cons of mammograms and then answered surveys about their reactions, knowledge, and screening plans. The goal was to understand what influences their choices, not to test a treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors design better tools to help women make informed decisions about breast cancer screening.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures reactions and intentions, not health outcomes, so it cannot directly improve survival or reduce cancer risk.
