“…Women also described the contribution of this experiential knowledge to their perceptions of their own breast cancer risk. This sense of vulnerability to breast cancer among women with a family history and the key role of experiential knowledge in shaping perceived risk has been reported in other studies (Andersen et al, 2003;Hailey et al, 2000;Sivell et al, 2008).…”

“…These experiences were clearly impactful, demonstrated by the highly emotive language used to describe them. These experiences also led many women to see breast cancer as a threat to themselves, as has been demonstrated in other studies reporting increased perceived risk, as well as increased cancer anxiety and intrusive thoughts among women with close personal experiences of breast cancer (Andersen et al, 2003;Hailey et al, 2000).…”

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are personalized assessments of disease risk based on the cumulative effect of common low-risk genetic variants. PRS have been shown to accurately predict women's breast cancer risk and are likely to be incorporated into personalized breast cancer risk management programs. However, there are few studies investigating the individual impact of receiving a breast cancer PRS. Existing studies have not demonstrated significant changes in perceived risk or risk management behaviors after receipt of polygenic risk information. The aim of this qualitative study

“…Relative to women without a FH of BC, prior research suggests women with a FH of BC tend to report inaccurately high perceptions of personal BC risk and greater anxiety and distress, particularly in BC screening settings (Brain, Norman, Gray, & Mansel, 1999; Erblich, Bovbjerg, & Valdimarsdottir, 2000; Hailey, Carter, & Burnett, 2000). However, in our study, BBB-related distress ratings for women without a FH of BC consistently exceeded the distress ratings for women with a FH, suggesting no FH of BC may be a risk factor for distress in the BBB setting.…”

Few studies have examined the magnitude of distress associated with specific aspects of the benign breast biopsy (BBB) or distress risk factors. Women (n=51) completed questionnaires regarding distress associated with a recent BBB experience. Clinical and demographic risk factors for distress were also examined. All women reported distress associated with BBB; one-third reported it as “very stressful.” Biopsy-specific events were rated most distressing. Younger age, less education, non-surgical biopsy, and absence of family history of breast cancer were identified as risk factors for distress. The identified factors provide an efficient and potentially cost-effective means of stratifying risk for BBB-related distress.

“…As such, FHH information is relevant to all family members, making it particularly useful in family-based interventions. Although FHH information has been underutilized in medicine (Berg et al, 2009), research has shown that provision of FHH information is associated with improved health behaviors including physical activity (Ruffin et al, 2011), nutritional intake (Pijl et al, 2009; Ruffin et al, 2011), and cancer screening (Hailey, Carter, & Burnett, 2000). Wang et al (2015) further provided insight into how provision of FHH-based risk information may lead to health behavior change.…”

Background Due to shared health behaviors and disease risk, families may be more effective targets for health promotion. This study assessed whether providing family health history (FHH)-based risk information for heart disease and diabetes affected encouragement to engage in physical activity (PA) and healthy weight (HW) maintenance and co-engagement in physical activity among 320 Mexican-origin parents and their 1,081 children. Method At baseline and 10 months, parents indicated who they encouraged and who encouraged them to engage in PA/HW, and with whom they coengaged in PA. Households were randomized to receive FHH-based assessments either by one or all adult household members. Primary analyses consisted of regression analyses using generalized estimating equations. Results At baseline, parents reported encouraging their child for both PA and HW in 37.6% of parent-child dyads and reported receiving children’s encouragement for both in 12.1% of dyads. These increased to 56.8% and 17.5% at 10 months (p < .001). Co-engagement in PA increased from 11.4% to 15.7% (p < .001), with younger children (30.4%) and mother-daughter dyads (26.8%) most likely to co-engage at 10 months. Providing FHH-based risk information to all adult household members (vs. one) was associated with increased parent-to-child encouragement of PA/HW (p = .011) at 10 months but not child-to-parent encouragement. New encouragement from parent-to-child (p = .048) and from child-to-parent (p = .003) predicted new 10-month PA co-engagement. Discussion Providing FHH information on a household level can promote parental encouragement for PA/HW, which can promote greater parent-child co-engagement in PA. In this high-risk population with a cultural emphasis on family ties, using FHH-based risk information for all adult household members may be a promising avenue to promote PA.
