ABSTRACT
Background:
Breast cancer (BC) has a high mortality rate in developing countries due to a scarcity of early detection. Risk communication is critical to support women who face the decision to undertake BC screening. Thus, they can balance their perceived and real risk, and make informed choices.Aim:
To describe experts' views on how the provision of information related to BC screening should be made. Material andMethods:
A qualitative study with focus groups with national experts was conducted. Open coding was performed.Results:
Four categories on the way information about BC screening should be provided emerged to communicate about the need of the exam; the pros and cons of the test; fear as a barrier for understanding; and involving women in the decision-making process.Conclusions:
These findings emphasize the need to include risk communication strategies in the patient-provider relationship and encourage and respect women's autonomy when facing the BC screening decision.Palabras clave
