Summary
This study looks at how different ways of explaining mammography affect women's skepticism and their plans to get screened. About 1,900 women aged 39-49 without breast cancer will read different messages about mammogram benefits and harms. Some messages use the words 'harms and benefits,' others say 'outcomes that can happen,' and some include information about improved breast cancer survival. The goal is to find the clearest, most trustworthy way to communicate screening information.

- If successful, this could help doctors communicate mammography results more clearly, reducing confusion and helping women make informed screening decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an online survey, not a real-world screening trial. Results may not reflect actual behavior, and the findings are about communication, not a medical treatment.
