Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study aimed to describe perceived breast cancer risk, compare subjective and objective risk estimates, and examine the influence of heuristic reasoning in women's narratives. The survey used three probability scales (Verbal, Comparative, Numerical) and the Gail model to measure perceived and objective risk. Aim 3 is addressed with Argument and Heuristic reasoning analysis. We recruited a multicultural, educated sample of 184 English-speaking women from community settings. Fifty four provided an in-depth interview. Participants held an optimistic bias regarding their breast cancer risk (comparative optimism and better-than-average), and underestimated their objective risk calculated with the Gail model. Older women and those with one affected first-degree relative did not perceive higher risk, which implies that women's knowledge of breast cancer risk factors was incomplete, despite their high educational level. Age and family history are independent predictors of sporadic and hereditary/familial breast cancer risk; yet, women could not distinguish between the two forms of the disease. Moreover, higher risk women were not more likely to receive more frequent screening.

Download or read book Critical Appraisal of Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials written by Mark Elwood and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-02-22 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a logical system of critical appraisal, to allow readers to evaluate studies and to carry out their own studies more effectively. This system emphasizes the central importance of cause and effect relationships. Its great strength is that it is applicable to a wide range of issues, and both to intervention trials and observational studies. This system unifies the often different approaches used in epidemiology, health services research, clinical trials, and evidence-based medicine, starting from a logical consideration of cause and effect. The author's approach to the issues of study design, selection of subjects, bias, confounding, and the place of statistical methods has been praised for its clarity and interest. Systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and the applications of this logic to evidence-based medicine, knowledge-based health care, and health practice and policy are discussed. Current and often controversial examples are used, including screening for prostate cancer, publication bias in psychiatry, public health issues in developing countries, and conflicts between observational studies and randomized trials. Statistical issues are explained clearly without complex mathematics, and the most useful methods are summarized in the appendix. The final chapters give six applications of the critical appraisal of major studies: randomized trials of medical treatment and prevention, a prospective and a retrospective cohort study, a small matched case-control study, and a large case-control study. In these chapters, sections of the original papers are reproduced and the original studies placed in context by a summary of current developments.

Download or read book Waiting for Cancer to Come written by Sharlene Hesse-Biber and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waiting for Cancer to Come tells the stories of women who are struggling with their high risk for cancer. Based on interviews and surveys of dozens of women, this book pieces together the diverse yet interlocking experiences of women who have tested positive for the BRCA 1/2 gene mutations, which indicate a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Sharlene Hesse-Biber brings these narratives to light and follows women’s journeys from deciding to get screened for BRCA, to learning the test has come back positive, to dealing with their risk. Many women already know the challenges of a family history riddled with cancer and now find themselves with the devastating knowledge of their own genetic risk. Using the voices of the women themselves to describe the under-explored BRCA experience, Waiting for Cancer to Come looks at the varied emotional, social, economic, and psychological factors at play in women’s decisions about testing and cancer prevention.
