p<0.001 for two-sided chi-square test comparing each respective Hispanic subgroup to Mexican/Mexican American women. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) define women as high risk of breast cancer if the BCRAT 5-year risk ≥1.67% and/or BCRAT lifetime risk ≥20%.
