ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A strong family history of breast cancer may greatly increase the chances for young women to develop the disease. Breast cancer genetics education for college-age women would increase awareness, but an effective method remains elusive.METHODS:
Thirty-five college women viewed four education tools (CD-ROM, video, brochure, and lecture) and discussed topic importance, tool preference, and distribution ideas in focus groups.RESULTS:
The participants considered breast cancer genetics important; however, the information must be made relevant to their peers to be accepted.CONCLUSION:
An ideal education method would focus on general breast health, mentioning family history as an important risk factor.
