Trial Information
Moderating the Negative Impact of Abnormal Screening Mammograms
The study consists of two parts. Part 1 (focus groups) interviewed 11 women in total (6
diagnosed with breast cancer and 5 diagnosed with benign breast disease) reinforced the need
for online information during the breast diagnostic process. The focus group reviewed
online CHESS-Mammo module and suggested minor changes to content. Part 2 (Evaluation) will
enroll 130 women in study and compare one group (65 participants) who receives access to
CHESS-Mammo to another group of women (65 participants) who receive an email message
containing screening mammography information. Both groups in Part 2 will be evaluated for
health information competence, psychological distress, and patient satisfaction with
physician through questionnaires. An evaluation of the group that accesses the CHESS-Mammo
website will be done. The reason for conducting part 2 of this study is to allow greater
insight into the clinical application of a novel Interactive Cancer Communication Systems
(CHESS-Mammo) early in the diagnostic workup of breast cancer. By doing this project, we
may achieve an important new way of implementing CHESS-Mammo in the clinic.
