NCT ID NCT07799467
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing a digital program that educates women about the connection between alcohol and breast cancer risk. The study enrolls women aged 40 and older who drink alcohol regularly and are attending a routine breast cancer screening visit. Participants use the program during their visit and for four weeks afterward. The trial measures whether the program is practical, acceptable, and whether it increases women's knowledge and prompts changes in drinking behavior.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A digital behavioral intervention that includes alcohol screening, personalized feedback, education on alcohol-related breast cancer risk, motivational content, and goal-setting exercises.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this digital tool could help women make more informed choices about alcohol and potentially lower their breast cancer risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study, so it may not show clear changes in behavior or knowledge. The intervention's success depends on women finding it useful and engaging.
