Notes. No.=number, SE=standard error. Estimates of the total number of women based on weighted data from the years 2000 and 2005 National Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Modules. Dash marks signify too few observations in a given cell to report
p<0.001 for two-sided chi-square test comparing all Hispanics to non-Hispanic whites;
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%.
