This observational study, called MERIT, is collecting information from women who are already getting routine mammograms. Researchers will collect blood samples, mammogram images, and health information through questionnaires. The goal is to create a large collection of blood samples and a database of health and risk information. This resource can then be used for future research into breast cancer, other cancers, and women's health. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 25 and 80 years old, willing to provide blood samples and complete questionnaires, and are having a screening mammogram at a participating clinic. The study aims to follow participants for at least five years.
