Randomized trial reveals preferences for risk assessment in women under 50, suggesting a shift in practice is needed.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore preferences for various breast cancer risk assessment strategies among UK women under 50.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 893 participants.
  • Utilized a discrete choice experiment defining risk assessments by six attributes.
  • Applied conditional logistic regression to estimate preferences for different approaches.
  • Participants favored proactive risk assessment strategies over current practices, with a preference probability >92%.
  • Majority of the 21 assessed approaches were preferred, highlighting strong approval for multifactorial assessments.
  • Education level and ethnicity influenced participants' preferences.
