NCT ID NCT06892275
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a decision aid designed to help Black and Latina women at high risk for breast cancer make informed choices about whether to get a breast MRI in addition to their yearly mammogram. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard risk information plus a nurse referral, or that same information plus a detailed decision aid. The goal is to see if the decision aid helps women make choices that match their personal values and knowledge.
