Brief Summary

The central goal of this study is to test strategies to implement evidence-based breast cancer risk assessment in healthcare clinics in Tennessee. The BRAVE Strategy (Breast cancer Risk Assessment - achieVing Equity) study aims to assess the feasibility, reach, acceptability, and appropriateness of select customized strategies to increase uptake of breast cancer risk assessment. The investigators will achieve these aims through a conducting a stepped-wedge trial conducted in 10 healthcare clinics in the state of Tennessee. The primary outcome is the proportion of women age 25-49 having risk assessment. Secondary outcomes include the numbers of 1) women identified as high-risk; 2) pursuing risk-adherent screening; and 3) diagnosed with breast cancer.

Limitations and Caveats

We had significant difficulty enrolling community clinics during this trial due to the impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic and resulting limitations in clinic resources. We enrolled a single clinic. This clinic was in Arm 1 - (2 months control, 4 months intervention,12 months maintenance). Due to clinic limited resources, we were also limited to 9 months of data collection in the maintenance time period, rather than the full 12 months.
