Study Summary
Lifestyle behaviors among women with a family history of breast cancer are likely to be influenced by a number of factors, including both objective risk factors and subjective risk, or perceived risk. The aims of this mixed method study are twofold and will be explored through both quantitative (i.e. secondary survey data) and qualitative data (i.e. personal in-depth interviews) derived from the Sister Study, a large epidemiologic study being conducted through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which is addressing risk factors for breast cancer in sisters of women who have had breast cancer. The quantitative aims include an exploration of lifestyle behaviors and behavioral differences between White and African American women, as well as well as an exploration of the relationships between lifestyle behaviors (i.e. varying levels of objective risk based on Gail model risk scores, medical risk-reducing factors (i.e. use of Tamoxifen or Raloxifene and/or prophylactic surgery), as well as additional factors that may be contributors to perceived risk. This aim will be addressed using data that have already been collected as part of the baseline activities for the Sister Study. The primary qualitative aim is to gain a better understanding about perceived risk and the relationship between perceived risk and lifestyle behaviors in both White and African American women with a family history of breast cancer. This aim requires the collection of new data through in-person interviews with between 28 and 40 women, depending on how many interviews are required to achieve "data saturation." The mixed method approach will be based on a "complementarity" model, which emphasizes the use of two different methods to address different aspects of the research problem. Results from both methods will become integrated into the discussion of the findings and it is expected that this approach will enrich the study and allow for elaboration of the quantitative results.
