Environmental Exposure Assessment in Breast Cancer Care
This observational study is looking at how patients and doctors feel about including environmental exposure risk assessments (EERA) in breast cancer care. This means understanding how environmental factors might affect breast cancer risk. The study aims to see if patients are interested in EERA, how they feel about getting these results, and what doctors think about using EERA in their practice. You may be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older, at average or high risk for breast cancer, or have early-onset breast cancer. The study plans to enroll 423 participants. The main goals are to understand patient and provider attitudes within one year.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 423 participants. It is not a treatment study but rather focuses on gathering information through surveys and interviews.
- What's involved
- You would complete a survey (15-25 minutes) and might have an interview (30-45 minutes). Some participants might also wear Fresh Air Clip wristbands for one week.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your responses will be measured for up to one year.

Inclusion
What this trial measures
- Patient survey responses on perceived utilityUp to one year
Will compare emotional responses, environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors, and cancer fatalism across the three participant groups (average risk, high risk, and early onset) using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Emotional response scores will be constructed by summing items within the positive and negative subscales separately, while the environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors and cancer fatalism will be calculated as summed total scores. ANCOVA will be used to estimate adjusted mean differences across groups and to evaluate whether post intervention responses differ after accounting for demographic factors. Interview sessions will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim.
- Patient survey responses on willingness to engageUp to one year
Will compare emotional responses, environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors, and cancer fatalism across the three participant groups (average risk, high risk, and early onset) using ANCOVA. Emotional response scores will be constructed by summing items within the positive and negative subscales separately, while the environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors and cancer fatalism will be calculated as summed total scores. ANCOVA will be used to estimate adjusted mean differences across groups and to evaluate whether post intervention responses differ after accounting for demographic factors. Interview sessions will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim.
- Patient survey responses on preferences for receiving EERA resultsUp to one year
Will compare emotional responses, environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors, and cancer fatalism across the three participant groups (average risk, high risk, and early onset) using ANCOVA. Emotional response scores will be constructed by summing items within the positive and negative subscales separately, while the environmental health literacy, compensatory health behaviors and cancer fatalism will be calculated as summed total scores. ANCOVA will be used to estimate adjusted mean differences across groups and to evaluate whether post intervention responses differ after accounting for demographic factors. Interview sessions will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim.
- Provider survey responses on perceived utilityUp to one year
Descriptive analysis will be used to examine all quantitative variables.
- Provider survey responses on feasibilityUp to one year
Descriptive analysis will be used to examine all quantitative variables.
- Provider survey responses on preferences for EERA disclosures into workflowsUp to one year
Descriptive analysis will be used to examine all quantitative variables.
- Proportion of participants who wear the work wristband for a total of 1 weekUp to one year
Feasibility will be defined as the proportion of participants who wear the work wristband for a total of 1 week. The feasibility rate will be summarized descriptively using point estimates and 95% confidence intervals.
- Chemical exposure measured by Fresh Air Clip wristbandUp to one year
Acceptability will be measured in the follow-up survey using the question: "Overall, how acceptable did you find wearing the 'Fresh Air clip' wristband to measure chemical exposures in your daily life?" Participants who respond "No opinion," "Acceptable," or "Completely acceptable" will be categorized as finding the wristband acceptable. The acceptability rate will be summarized descriptively using point estimates and 95% confidence intervals.
