Gail Model Risk, Perceived Risk, and Estimation Error Among the Study Population

Mean % (SD)
Gail model breast cancer risk
 Lifetime, 8.4 (6.1)
 Five-year, 1.5 (1.3)
Perceived breast cancer risk
 Lifetime, 36.7 (25.3)
 Five-year, 25.9 (24.6)
Estimation error
 Lifetime, 29.5 (22.9)
 Five-year, 24.8 (23.9)
*

Estimation error was defined as the absolute difference of the perceived risk and the Gail mode risk.

SD, standard deviation.
